What Do You Need to Make Vegan Quinoa Broccoli Patties?
For this recipe, you’ll need two ingredients as a base that helps bind them together, plus some more ingredients to add flavor and texture.
Nutritional Yeast: It adds cheesy flavor, protein, and vitamin B12.
Chickpeas: It will make the base loaded with protein and fiber.
Wholegrain Dijon Mustard: It gives a delicious flavor.
Garlic Powder: Another flavor you want in your quinoa broccoli patties! Replace the powder with fresh garlic if you don’t have it.
Quinoa Flour: This flour is GF and it helps absorbs most of the moisture helping during the cooking process. You don’t want them to fall apart!
