This recipe is on rotation constantly at home! Make a marinara sauce to go with it, or have them with some salad or vegetables. You can also substitute turkey mince for the beef, as turkey is a rich source of protein and a great source of iron, zinc, potassium and phosphorus. Try these meatballs for you next meal prep, I usually have 3-4 balls per meal, depending on how big they are. Original recipe can be found here
Directions
-Preheat oven to 375.
-If you don’t have prepared oat flour, add 1 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats to a food processor and grind until fine (should take 30-60 seconds).
-Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until it’s beginning to become soft and translucent, about 5-6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute or so. Add the spinach. Cook and stir until it begins to wilt, about 2-3 more minutes. Pour the veggies into a large bowl.
-To the bowl, add the oat flour, 2 eggs, the milk, cheese, and spices. Mix well until combined.
-Add your ground beef and gently mix until combined.
-Roll the mixture into round balls and place on a pan lined with foil and lightly sprayed with cooking spray.
-Cook at 190 degrees for about 18 minutes or so, then broil for 2-3 minutes to get them slightly browned.
