Ingredients

  • 250 ml (1 cup) rolled oats
  • 1 L (4 cups) broccoli florets
  • 250 ml (1 cup) grated cheddar cheese
  • 4 eggs
  • 10 ml (2 tsp) Italian seasoning
  • 2.5 ml (½ tsp) garlic powder
  • Pepper and salt, to taste

Note : For a gluten-free recipe, choose certified gluten-free oats.

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
  2. In a food processor, grind the rolled oats into powder. Set aside in a small bowl.
  3. In the same food processor, finely chop the broccoli florets.
  4. Add the ground oats and the remaining ingredients. Pulse until you have a homogeneous mixture.
  5. Using a spoon, place 15 ml (1 tablespoon) of the mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat for the entire mixture, leaving a little space between each bite.
  6. Gently press each bite with the back of the spoon to give them a uniform thickness.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until they are lightly golden. Let them cool before serving.

Serve with Marinara sauce or your sauce of choice.
