Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup Raw Organic Whey Protein (code HEALTHYHELPER saves!)
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • ½ cup milk of choice (regular or unsweetened almond milk)
  • 1 cup shredded low-fat or fat-free mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup chopped bell peppers and onions (optional)
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Yo Mama’s Pizza Sauce, for topping, about ½ cup total (code HEALTHYHELPER saves!)
  • Extra shredded mozzarella, for topping (optional, about ¼ cup)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, Raw Organic Whey Protein, milk, mozzarella, parmesan, bell peppers and onions (if using), eggs, and all seasonings. Mix until well combined.
  3. Divide the mixture evenly into the muffin cups, pressing down gently to compact.
  4. Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until golden and firm to the touch.
  5. Remove the muffin tin from the oven and spoon about 2 teaspoons of Yo Mama’s Pizza Sauce over each bite. Top with a small sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
  6. Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for an additional 3–5 minutes, or switch to broil for 1–2 minutes, until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
  7. Let cool for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and serve warm.
