Quinoa & Sweet Potato Felafels

Up until afew months ago I had never tried felafel's before, however in Vienna they are on the starters list in most of the restaurants.  Our main course in one restaurant was delayed so they sent some complimentary felafel's to our table.

HEAVEN! - standard felafel's tend to be high in fats, where as this alternative is low fat!

I found a recipe on Pinterest and as usual the ingredients and macros were not to my liking so I exchanged them out.  I must admit i was dubious of the consistency.  Felafel's are normally round balls, but once the ingredients were in the blender it was not solid enough to roll into a ball, so i spooned them into a cake tin!

Macro per Felafel's is listed below.  Prep time around 15 minutes, bake time 10 to 15 minutes.
