Thanks for your Quinoa Cake recipe! I was just in Jacksonville, FL and went to a food store there called Native Sun and had some really good Quinoa Cakes in their deli area. They were somewhat similar but were baked and were half circle shaped. They have egg and cheese in them but next time I’m subbing in chia and ground flax soaked and possibly daiya cheese. For these you use an ice cream scoop and scoop on to parchment paper and bake. I am going to try your recipe next!
