Gluten Free, Dairy Free Quinoa Pizza Bites!

Makes 10 Delightful Pizza Bites!  Adapted from Chocolate Covered Katie's Blog!

• 1 cup cooked quinoa (1 cup quinoa, 2 cups water, 1/2 tsp salt, bring to boil and simmer on low for 18-20 minutes)
• 1 cup canned white beans
• 1/2 cup tomato sauce
• 2 tsp dry basil
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp xylitol/stevia
• Daiya (in the middle)

Preheat oven to 350 F and grease 2 muffin tins then set aside.  I used Olive Oil Spray.

In a medium bowl, mash the beans completely or use your magic bullet. Stir in all remaining ingredients. Drop a big spoonful into each muffin holder, then add a couple pinches of cheese—and add another spoonful of mixture.  Fill 10-12 muffin cups.  Cook 25 minutes then for a crispy outer shell, broil 5 minutes at the end.

About 40 calories each.  I ate 2.  My guy ate 4.  We had them with dinner, but you could easily eat some for dinner/snack/lunch/whatever your heart desires.
