Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cooked quinoa
- 1 cup Gluten-free rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Egg
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, gluten-free rolled oats, and almond flour.
Add the coconut sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt to the dry ingredients, and mix well.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and the egg until thoroughly combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. If using chocolate chips or chopped nuts, fold them into the dough at this stage.
Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
