Steps
Step 1
Set oven to 375F.
Step 2
Cook quinoa according to the instructions given. After cooking, allow the quinoa to cool to room temperature.
Step 3
In a bowl, mix together all of the ingredients, except for marinara, green onions and mozzarella. Use your hands to mix to ensure the meat is thoroughly mixed together.
Step 4
Spray the muffin pan with coconut oil.
Step 5
Evenly divide the mixture among 5 mini-loaf muffin holders, as demonstrated. If you are using a regular muffin pan, evenly divide the mixture among 10 muffin holders.

Spread marinara sauce on top. Add 2 tbsp if using 5 mini-loaves, or 1 tbsp for 10 muffins.

Top with mozzarella cheese. Add 1/4 cup for each of the 5 mini-loaves, or 1/8 cup for 10 muffins.
Step 8
Bake for 20-22 minutes at 375F. Top with chopped green onions if desired. Allow the mini-meatloaves to cool before removing from the pan so that they do not break apart.
