This post is dedicated to my friend, Scarlett, who asked me about “veganizing” some broccoli cheddar bites that she saw on Staceysnacksonline.com. So here it is!
I veganized it and made a few adjustments. For these “bites” I am using fresh broccoli instead of steamed (less cooked, more nutrients). I have added quinoa and a few other things for taste and nutritional purposes. I am also cooking it on a griddle instead of baking it. But, you can cook it either way. To bake: 325 degrees for 25 minutes turning over after 15 minutes (per staceysnacksonline.com).
****Reasons why we “veganize”:
- Watch “Animal Protein — Meat and Dairy — Cause Cancer”
- Read “Health Concerns about Dairy Products”
- Watch “Dairy Farm Tied to Cheesemaker Exposed”
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of fresh broccoli
- 1 cup of DAIYA vegan “cheese”
- 1/5 cup of red onions
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 to 2 tablespoon of nutritional yeast (optional)
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 3 eggs worth of ENER-G eggless egg replacer
- 1/2 teaspoon of cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon of oregano
- 1 tablespoon of liquid aminos (for salt)
- olive oil spray (a tiny bit to grease your griddle)
Note: if you don’t have cumin or oregano, you can try adding curry powder and dried cilantro.
Directions:
- Place all ingredients in food processor (except oil).
- Blend.
- Mold into small patties.
- Place onto greased griddle (low heat).
- Cook in low heat for up to 8 minutes on each side (until golden on each side).
- Serve and enjoy.
Mmm! I think my son will love these!
My 3 year old loved this.
This looks like a good idea!
I love anything with the word bite or fritter. Looks great!
Isobelle these look fantastic…Just “pinned” them
Thanks! My daughter and I ate these up for lunch! Yum!
They look delicious. I like how you didn’t cook the brocolli first
These look awesome! I have a picky little toddler that I bet would love these.
Wowee! These look delicious and so creative. I bet I could eat all of them in one sitting.
I am on a quinoa kick lately, and these look amazing!

I love quinoa!…quinoa puddings, pancakes, waffles, pasta, etc.
This looks delicious!!! I need to go buy myself some fresh brocolli. I might just use frozen for now bc this looks AMAZING!!! about to repin it
do you have any ideas for a substitute for the liquid aminos?
Hi Julia! If you don’t have liquid aminos, you can use tamari, celtic sea salt, or dulse granules (sea weed). …or you can completely omit the added salt
. I think the Daiya “cheese” makes it pretty tasty already.
When you say “3 ENER-G eggless egg replacer” do you mean 3 eggs worth or 3 tsp? This looks really good and I have a big bag of quinoa in the pantry to play with.
Hey there!
Sorry it took me so long to respond. I have been out of town. Yes, 3 eggs worth. I guess I should make that a bit clearer.
Thanks!
