How to Prepare High Protein Spinach and Rice Balls [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Preheat your oven to 360°F.
Add all ingredients of part 1 into a food processor and blend.
Then transfer the mixture into a large bowl and mix in the ingredients of part 2. Mix well until you get a nice dough-like texture. If it's too wet, add a little bit more chickpea flour. Don't taste it now, as uncooked chickpea flour is very bitter. Add pepper to taste as well if you like.
Create roughly 12 balls with your hands (it's a bit messy but fun) and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Put into the preheated oven and bake for 20 - 25 min (probably 20 min will do, you can check by tasting one of them, if there is no bitter taste to it, then it's perfect).
Serve over cashew sour cream or coconut yogurt.
