Baked Nutty Brown Rice Balls

I had two cups of leftover rice so I decided to mix some other ingredients in and bake myself brown rice balls.  I knew right away, I wanted nuts and veggies, in this recipe so off I went to create.  I did read a bunch of recipes for something similar bu when push came to shove, I used what was in my fridge and cabinets and did not worry about anything, I had read about.

Baked Nutty Brown Rice Balls

Ingredients:

2 c fully cooked and cooled brown rice

1/2 cup ground walnuts

1 carrot, shredded

1 zucchini, shredded

1 onion, shredded

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 cup sliced green onions

1 beaten egg

1/4 cup flax seed meal

Method:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Combine all of the above ingredients.  Mine did not stick well so I suggest either another egg or a little bit of liquid, added.

Mix well. 

Fill 18 mini muffin cups with rice mixture.  I used a tablespoon cookie scoop to get approximately the same size balls.

Bake in a  325 degree oven for 23 minutes.  They brown a little.

Remove from tins and serve.  These have a nutty flavor to them.
