QUINOA COOKIES



Quinoa Cookies image

I bake with my three-year-old at least once a week. We have tried a plethora of different cookies with different fruits and bases. This one was a hit! My three-year-old and older child both loved these, and I did too! They are super simple to make and sneak fiber, protein, and other nutrients into dessert! I used one cookie sheet for nine cookies, three rows of three fit well.

Time 5h

Yield 11 to 12 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup raw white quinoa
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (organic and grass-fed preferred), melted and cooled
1 cup coconut sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup coconut flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup bittersweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Place the quinoa in a dry pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the quinoa is evenly toasted and beginning to pop, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely.
  • Add the melted butter, coconut sugar and vanilla extract to a medium bowl. Using a rubber spatula, stir to combine and soften the sugar. Add the egg and egg yolk and stir until smooth. Add the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda and salt and stir until it forms a soft dough. Add the chocolate chips and quinoa and stir to evenly distribute. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.

Allow to cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheets, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
