Step 1

Measure 1 cup of quinoa, rinse well and place into a pot. Add double the volume of water and bring to a boil. Simmer covered for about 18-20 min until all the water is absorbed and the quinoa is just slightly overcooked. Remove from the heat and leave to stand for 5 min. Fluff up with a fork and transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 400 °F (200 °C) - 350 °F fan (180°C fan)

Step 3

Line 1 baking sheet with baking paper.

Step 4

Add the rest of the ingredients to the quinoa and stir everything together. You want to have the quinoa slightly overcooked and still warm which will create sticky mixture that will be easy to form the balls.

Step 5

With your hands make balls (about 1 1/2 tablespoons size) and place onto lined baking sheet. If your hands get too sticky wash them in between.

Step 6

Bake for about 25-30min until they look crispy and start too slightly brown.

Step 7

Serve warm or cold.

Step 8

Store in a fridge in an airtight container.

Step 9

Enjoy!
