Quinoa Pizza Bites

 I love pizza

I could eat pizza everyday.

But that look isn't too good for a health and fitness coach

Alternatives it is!

 

Enter- QUINOA PIZZA BITES!

 

 

These bad boys were delicious. After a few bites I realized they really taste like Domino's Cheesy Bread. Yeah, I know!!

 

 

I doubled this recipe and it made 12 big bites (next time I will use a mini muffin pan). You can add pepperoni slices (not healthy but yummy), cherry tomatoes, or peppers- whatever "topping" you want!

 

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 Cup uncooked quinoa

1 large egg

1/2 Cup chopped onion

1/2 Cup fat free shredded mozzarella

1 t. minced garlic

1 T. dried basil (or 1 cup chopped fresh)

1 t. dried oregano

pinch of salt

pizza sauce for dipping

 

 

 1. Cook quinoa per box directions.

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all of the ingredients except pizza sauce in a mixing bowl until well mixed.

3. Lightly spray the bottom of a mini muffin pan with olive oil spray. Using a tablespoon (in my case a regular spoon and regular muffin tin), scoop 1 Tbsp. into each spot. It should fill almost all of them.

4. Bake them for 15-20 minutes and let cool. Serve them warm with pizza sauce to dip in!

 

 

 

ENJOY!
