Black Bean BBQ Meatballs

INGREDIENTS

Meatballs

• 1/2 cup oat flour,

• 1/2 gluten free oats

• 1/2 15 oz. can of black beans

• 1 tbsp. olive oil

• 1 tbsp. tomato paste

• 1 Tbsp. onion powder

• 1 Tbsp. garlic powder

• 1/4 cup cilantro, minced

• 1 Tbsp. basil, minced

• Water as needed

• 2 tsp. paprika

BBQ Sauce

• 1/2 Tbsp. coconut oil

• 1/2 cup low-sugar BBQ sauce

• Red chili flakes, to taste

DIRECTIONS

1. In a food processor, add oats and pulse until it forms a flour-like consistency. Add the rest of the meatball ingredients and continue to pulse until it forms a paste, about 3-5 minutes.

2. Transfer mixture to a small bowl and start rolling it into small, 1 inch balls.

3. Once all balls are formed, melt ½ Tbsp. on a sauté pan over medium heat. Add meatballs and lightly toast, stirring frequently so the balls cook evenly - about 5 minutes total.

4. Mix in BBQ sauce and red chili flakes and stir until all balls area evenly coated. Continue to cook the balls another 4-5 minutes, until thoroughly cooked. Remove from heat and enjoy!
