  • Cook quinoa with 1/8 tsp. salt according to package directions. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool for at least 10 minutes.

  • Add broccoli, Cheddar, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and the remaining 1/4 tsp. salt to the quinoa. Stir in egg.

  • Divide the quinoa mixture among the prepared muffin cups, pressing firmly with lightly moistened fingers. Mist the tops with cooking spray.

  • Bake until golden, 22 to 25 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes, then remove to the rack to cool completely.

Tips

Tip: If you use paper liners, refrigerate the baked bites for at least 2 hours before removing from the liners, to prevent sticking.

Tips

To make ahead: Refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Equipment: Mini-muffin pan (24-cup)
