Ingredients
3 cups of cooked quinoa1/4 cup (may need another Tbsp or so) light sour cream3/4 cups oats1 egg1 tsp. onion powder1/2 tsp seasoned salt3 Tbsp safflower (or other high-heat safe) oil, dividedCooking spray
In a food processor (or a coffee grinder would work, too) grind up your oats until they are a powder.
In a medium bowl, mix quinoa, oat flour until well blended. Add in the egg and stir until well blended. Add in the sour cream. The mix should be moist and hold together well. If it does not, add another Tbsp or so of sour cream and try again. Add in onion powder and salt. (I cook my quinoa with onion. If you do not, you may want to add a bit more onion powder - it is just personal preference. You want a noticeable, but not overpowering onion flavor.)
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spray with cooking spray, and then drizzle 1 Tbsp oil onto the pan. Pick up the pan and tip it from side to side to spread the oil around, if needed.
While your pan heats, make your quinoa batter into patties. Depending on how big you make them, this should make 10-14 patties. (I made 10). They are sticky, so laying them on foil or waxed paper while you work is great.
Put 3 onto the skillet at a time. Turn when brown, 2-3 minutes per side. Before you put on the next set, add another Tbsp of oil and spread around the pan. These do not stick, and are very easy to flip and reposition if needed.
Pile onto a plate and cover to keep warm while you cook the remaining patties.
Serve immediately.
