Crispy Quinoa Patties

To make oat flour, place oats in a high-speed blender and blend on the highest setting until you get a fine, flour-like consistency. If you find it easier, you can also use store-bought oat flour.

Rinse 1 cup of raw quinoa in a fine-mesh sieve, then place it in a medium saucepan and pour 1.5 cups of water over it. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the saucepan. Simmer the quinoa for 14-17 minutes until most of the water is absorbed and the quinoa is light, fluffy, and tender. Remove from heat, fluff with a fork, and replace the lid to steam for another 4-5 minutes. The amount of cooked quinoa will be nearly 3 cups, but you only need 1.5 cups for this recipe. You can use the remaining quinoa for other dishes!

Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
