Banana Coconut Oatmeal Quinoa Bites

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 F and spray two 24-count mini muffin tins with non stick cooking spray (recipe makes roughly 30 so you don't need to spray the entire second pan).

2. 2

   In a large bowl combine cooked quinoa, oats, 1 cup of coconut, flax seed meal, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

3. 3

   In a medium bowl whisk together honey, banana, coconut milk, eggs, and vanilla. When smooth, stir the banana mixture into the oat mixture using a wooden spoon. Stir just until combined.

4. 4

   Use a tablespoon sized scoop to place heaping tablespoons of the dough into each cavity. Top with a pinch of additional coconut if desired.

5. 5

   Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and they feel firm when you touch them. Remove pans from oven and set them on a rack. Let the bites sit in the pan for 5 minutes before removing them from the pans with a spoon to a cooling rack.

   * I cook my quinoa ahead of time in the rice cooker. For this recipe, I used 1 cup of quinoa and 2 cups of water.
