Ingredients
 

  • 1-2 tablespoons avocado oil, (or olive oil) for the pan
  • Avocado oil spray, (or any vegetable oil spray)
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • ¼ teaspoon salt*
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup almond flour

Instructions
 

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, cover broccoli with water and cook in the microwave for approximately 4-6 minutes or until broccoli is tender.
  • Meanwhile, add remaining ingredients, except for avocado oil, to a food processor.
  • Carefully, drain the broccoli and add cooked broccoli to the food processor. Process the ingredients until mixed well.
  • Heat a large pan or skillet over medium heat and coat with avocado oil.
  • Scoop a large spoonful of the mixture out with a spoon and then, using your hands, form a patty and place it in the pan.
  • Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
  • Cook for 5 minutes on one side or until golden brown. Spray the tops of the patties with avocado oil spray, then flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until cooked through.

Notes

*Since this recipe was mostly meant for my 10-month-old, I only used a little bit of salt. You could omit the salt if preferred or, if you are preparing for older kids or adults, you can try adding ½ teaspoon of salt.
