Mini Salsa & White Bean Loaves - Making Thyme for Health

Step 1

Start by preheating the oven to 400°F and then drain and rinse both cans of beans before pouring them into a large bowl.

Step 2

Mash the beans with a fork until a chunky texture is formed. You should still be able to see some shape to the beans, you don’t want to over-mash them.

Step 3

Add the diced green onion, minced garlic, garlic salt, pepper, Italian seasonings and fresh herbs (optional) and mix together.

Step 4

Then add the breadcrumbs, rolled oats, salsa, beaten egg and shredded cheese and mix everything together until well combined.

Step 5

Take about 3/4 cup of the mixture into your hands at a time and shape into four (or more if you like them smaller) mini loaves.

Step 6

Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (or greased foil) and cook in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for several minutes before serving.
