Description

Bite-sized cheesy buffalo snacks perfect for the big game!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup quinoa, uncooked (I used red quinoa)
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 tbsp almond meal
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup Frank's hot sauce
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp + 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. Bring broth and quinoa to a boil in a medium pot. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer (covered) for about 15 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a large bowl, combine eggs, almond meal, garlic, hot sauce, mozzarella cheese and 2 tbsp of Parmesan. Stir well to combine.
  4. Spoon batter into mini muffin tin. Sprinkle bites with the remaining 1 tbsp of Parmesan. You'll need to make two batches unless you have a 24-cup muffin tin.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes. Serve hot with celery and ranch!
