NOTES

Recipe tip – you can use any egg replacement for these quinoa balls. If you leave it out all together the recipe will still work, just be a bit harder to hold together. Bobs Red Mill Egg Replacement is a great option as well.
You could also try adding 2 tbsp vegetable oil as a binding agent.
