Gluten free Quinoa Cakes

Quinoa Cakes (gluten free)
Cooked and cooled quinoa (follow directions on package)
4 mini bell peppers, grilled, chopped and cooled
1/2 onion, grilled, chopped and cooled
1 egg
1/2 cup coconut flour
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup grated parmesan
salt
pepper
garlic powder
onion powder
Oregano.....all the spices to taste, quinoa is very bland so I tend to over do it a bit.
Mix all the ingredients, this should feel sticky to the touch and stay together easily. Heat pan to medium high, form into any shape or size. Flip after about 3 minutes, should be golden to dark brown on each side... enjoy!

Gluten Free breakfast muffins

Sweet Potato muffins:
1 cup cooked sweet potato, cooled, mashed
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon of clove, nutmeg, and sea salt
2 tablespoon syrup
1 table spoon cinnamon
1/4 cup coconut flour
1 cup sweet rice flour
2 eggs
1 can coconut milk
Mix ingredients, I separated dry from wet, but felt that was just another dish to clean. It is a thick batter, but if it is too thick add almond milk or more coconut milk. Divide evenly in a muffin tray, they don't rise much. Pre heat oven to 390 bake for 30-35 minutes . Excellent with butter or ghee
