Cinna-Coco Quinoa Bites

Ingredients

• 1 1/3 cups water
• 2/3 cup quinoa
• 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs, beaten

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 24 non-stick mini-muffin cups.

Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.

Stir coconut, brown sugar, whole wheat flour, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl. Add quinoa and eggs to coconut mixture; stir until completely combined. Drop coconut mixture by the tablespoonful into prepared muffin cups.

Bake in the preheated oven until slightly crisp and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
