The ingredients for Crispy Buffalo Quinoa Bites are:

Buffalo Sauce
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup hot sauce (I use Franks)
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt

Quinoa Bites
2 cups cooked quinoa
1 cup cannellini beans, mashed
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon peper

3 tablespoons olive oil

Here is how you make Crispy Buffalo Quinoa Bites:

Make the buffalo sauce. Combine the melted butter, olive oil, hot sauce and seasoned salt in a medium size bowl. Whisk to combine and set aside.In another bowl combine the quinoa, mashed cannellini beans, bread crumbs, egg, salt, pepper and 4 tablespoons of the buffalo sauce. Mix well to moisten the ingredients and then form into 35-40 equal size balls (about 1/2 tablespoon to 1 tablespoon of the quinoa mixture). Squeeze the balls together tightly with your hands, as if making meatballs, being careful.Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Add half the balls to skillet and cook until golden and crisp on all sides, about five minutes. Gently (very gently) toss about 10 balls at a time with the buffalo sauce or you can dip each ball in the sauce as well if you are afraid the balls will crumble.Serving Size: 4 "bites"Number of Servings: 10Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user 2BSKINNY2011.
