Join the discussionThese are SO cute — besides looking delicious. I really like how they have that rich color from the veggies in them. Am looking forward to trying them.
Those sound awesome!! I love quinoa too, and I think these will be brilliant!
Thanks for the conversion chart. I was looking at the instructions going hmmmm…wonder if I could wing it?? 🙂 You saved me!
The first ingredients listed…is that supposed to be 2 raw eggs or 2 cooked eggs, cooled when added? Thanks.
Raw eggs
I believe it’s supposed to be the quinoa that is cooked and then cooled… and the eggs should be raw. I’m guessing the quinoa needs to be cool so it doesn’t accidentally cook the egg before you want it to.
I am measuring 2 cups of quinoa and then cooking which will yield more than 2 cups, right? Or cook less to yield 2 cups total?
Thanks so much!
The quinoa should be cooked and cooled before adding to the mix. 2 cups of cooked quinoa.
Great, thanks! I thought 2 cups then cooked sounded like way too much, but that’s how I read it. Can’t wait to make these. I’m a huge fan of quinoa.
I’m new to cooking quinoa. How much of the dry ingredient would I need to cook in order to end up with 2 cups?
Vanessa – typically 1 cup of the dry quinoa will yield 2 cups cooked.
Will these be good without the cheese? I have a kid with a dairy/soy allergy.
Yes Liz – I think you could omit the cheese. I would add more seasoning of your choice to flavor it a bit more.
just mixed all my ingredients and realize i only have a regular sized muffin tray – how long should i cook and at what temp (if different)?
I would cook at the same temperature but maybe for 10 minutes longer? Just check the middle with a toothpick to see if they are done. Enjoy!
These are OUT OF THIS WORLD! SOOOOO YUMMY!!! I went with the longer baking time (I live at about 6,000 ft.) and they were SCRUMPTIOUS!!
BTW, it takes 1/2 c. of raw quinoa to make the 2 c. of cooked quinoa for this recipe. However, if I had known how amazing it was going to turn out, I would have quadrupled the recipe!
They are kind of addictive aren’t they Janis? I love that it makes me feel like I am eating something fried and “naughty” when I am really eating something healthy!
Would this work if just laid out on a regular baking sheet?
Probably Ashley! The muffin tin just helps it keep it’s shape for handling. Just be sure to mold them a little with your hands so they don’t fall apart on the cook sheet. But hopefully the egg will help everything bind together well!
