These are so delicious I had to stop myself from eating a bunch of them! Made them for my picky toddler. Any tips on how to store them properly? Will they freeze well?  I will make these again for sure.

Thanks for the recipe! I just made them today, and they were a hit with the whole family, not just my 1 year old that I had intended them for. I'll definitely be making them again.

Just made these for my son (8 months old) - so yummy! He hasn't tried them yet but my husband said 'These are like broccoli and cheddar soup in a bite!' Looking forward to his reaction tomorrow!

Made these tonight! So easy and so good. I only have one little so I halved the recipe... Kinda wish I hadn't now ;) going to try grated carrots next!

My three year old doesn’t typically  like the texture of quinoa, but she loved these! I did too. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

What a great way to use up leftover quinoa! I added some chopped ham too...delicious!

My son has egg and dairy allergies so I had to test some modifications. I used flax eggs (1 tbs ground flax + 2.5 tbs water per egg) and non-dairy shredded cheddar cheese (Earth Island brand) and yellow mustard as I had no dry at home. The mixture was still too crumbly so I then added water a tbs at a time to get it to hold together a bit. I made one batch with silicone mini-muffin pan and had to leave them for 30 minutes and the bottoms still didn’t set well, so the second batch I actually formed delicate balls and put them on parchment paper on a cookie sheet to allow them more surface area to cook, then I left them in the oven for 40 minutes (until they browned). At last, they turned out yummy and my little guy (13 months old) scarfs them. Thank you for keeping it simple and delicious

I made this with my air fried fish- soooo yummy! I accidentally left out the eggs though and the cheese bound it successfully! Thanks for sharing!

My kid (12 m.o) is obsessed with these. And our daycare provider actually asked me for the recipe so she could make them for the other kids. Recommend adding one extra egg so they hold together nicely! 

Great recipe!!

Thanks for the recipe! It’s a staple in our home.

The recipe sounds delicious but the instructions aren’t clear of my phone is not showing the whole recipe as it is . I see a good processor and the ingredients in it but you never mentioned that step in the recipe. Is there anyway you can clarify that for me please ? Ok so I get ingredients together and then what ? I mean I need to follow step by step I’m sorry some people are just not as smart and need step by step instructions lol .

Im definitely making this for my 13 month old! I do not have a mini muffin pan. How long would you recommend baking in a regular muffin pan?

Just curious is it ok for baby 8 months with the half teaspoon of salt ? I don’t want it to have 0 flavour for her

I just made these to take to a Christmas function as a GF option. Of course I had to try one before taking them…….and they were lucky to make it there! 
Seriously good!

Quinoa bites are the best! I discovered them when my kids were little, and we still all love them! I always use more than broccoli...carrots, kale, cauliflower, spinach. Whatever vegetables we have at home, plus jalapenos for a little kick. Quinoa bites are a win!
