Best Quinoa Oatmeal Toddler Cookies Recipes

QUINOA BREAKFAST COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Use a food processor or a blender to process the 1¼ cups rolled oats into a fine flour and measure out one level cup. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, the remaining 1 cup whole oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and sea salt. Fold in the quinoa and then the shredded carrots, stirring until the carrots are completely coated with flour.
• In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed and warm water and set aside to thicken for about 5 minutes. In a medium bowl, combine the almond butter, coconut oil, and maple syrup and stir well to incorporate. Stir in the flaxseed mixture.
• Add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients and fold until just combined. Stir in the walnuts, pepitas, and cranberries.
• Scoop about ¼ cup of batter for each cookie onto the baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
• When cookies are completely cool, they can be stored in an airtight container or frozen.

PUMPKIN-QUINOA OATMEAL COOKIES

Beat in the egg, pumpkin and vanilla, scraping down the bowl occasionally, until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture and beat until just combined. Add the oats, pepitas, cranberries and quinoa and beat on low speed until combined.
• Scoop 2-inch balls of dough (about 3 tablespoons each) and arrange 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Coat the bottom of a drinking glass with cooking spray and gently flatten the cookies to a 1/2-inch thickness (about 2 1/2 inches in diameter).
• Bake until the cookies are dry on top and crisp around the edges, 14 to 16 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the pans, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
