  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
  3. Spray mini-muffin pan with non-stick spray and spoon a heaping tablespoon of the mixture into each cup, pressing down mixture into each cup as you go.

Notes

If you find yourself with leftover quinoa mix, try making larger muffins for the adults!

You may find that it’s easiest to chop the broccoli using a food processor.
