- Add a spoonful of the buffalo quinoa to each mini muffin cup and press down firmly.
- Place in the oven and bake 20-25 minutes, adding the cheese if desired in the last 5 minutes and then baking just until bubbly. Remove and cool 3-4 minutes before removing.

Notes
These bites may be slightly crumbly. Be sure to press them down well before baking them and if you're not making these vegan consider stirring an egg into the quinoa mixture before baking to help them hold together better.
