Quinoa Cookies Recipes

QUINOA COOKIES

Steps:

• Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Place a cover on the saucepan, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook at a simmer until the moisture is absorbed completely, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
• Mix cooked quinoa, coconut, oats, flour, brown sugar, mashed bananas, applesauce, peanut butter, vanilla, salt, baking soda, and baking powder together in a large bowl. Fold chocolate chips into the quinoa mixture; drop by spoonful onto prepared baking sheets.
• Bake in preheated oven until browned around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow cookies to set up a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack

PUMPKIN-QUINOA OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Lightly coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray. Whisk the flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
• Beat the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until fluffy and pale, about 3 minutes. 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.

QUINOA CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

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.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop 1/4-cup balls of cookie dough evenly onto the baking sheets leaving 2 inches between each scoop. Flatten them slightly. Bake, rotating halfway through, until the edges are just set and the centers are still slightly underdone, 13 to 15 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheets, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
