- These crispy little cakes are perfect for brunch-try a few strips of vegetarian sausage or possibly bacon on the side. They also make a nice supper topped with a little salsa. You can find quinoa flour at natural food stores.
- Preheat oven to 200F. In large bowl, lightly beat egg and egg whites. Add in quinoa, sweet potato, scallions, cilantro, quinoa flour, salt and pepper and mix well. Let stand 15 min.
- In large skillet, heat 2 tsp. vegetable oil over medium-high heat till warm but not smoking. Cook cakes in batches, using about 1/4 c. of quinoa mix for each cake and flattening slightly with back of spoon to create a 3-inch disk. Cook till golden, about 3 min per side, reducing heat if cakes brown too quickly.
- Drain on paper towels and keep hot in oven. Repeat with remaining cakes, adding more oil to pan as needed. Serve warm with lime wedges to squeeze over cakes.
