These easy cookies have an added health boost of high protein, high fiber quinoa! The natural nutty flavor of the seeds helps create a sweet, vegan treat that works for breakfast, snack, or dessert.

Ingredients

  • 2 Ripe Bananas (Mashed)

  • 120g (scant 1/2c) Peanut Butter (I used PB2 Powder w/ coconut milk)

  • 60g (3 tbsp) Maple Syrup

  • 25g (2 tbsp) Granulated Sugar

  • 1 tsp Vanilla

  • 1/2 tsp Salt

  • 400g Quinoa (~2 1/4c) (Cooked)

  • 90g (1c) Gluten Free Oats

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 170c Fan/375f. Prep a baking sheet with parchment or a silpat.
  • Cook ~200g (1c) Quinoa with twice the amount water. Bring to a boil, turn down to low and simmer for 10 min. Turn heat off completely and allow to rest covered for an additional 5-10 minutes.
  • Mix mashed Bananas with Peanut Butter, Maple Syrup, Sugar, Vanilla, Salt and add in Oats & Cooked Quinoa. Add-ins always acceptable! (nuts, chocolate chips, cranberries)
  • Place spoonful scoops of batter on to parchment. These cookies won’t spread. I shaped and pat them down just a touch.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, or until just turning golden on top.
  • I topped mine with dark chocolate drizzle and coconut flakes & almonds – feel free to get creative with whatever you’d like or leave them plain!

Notes

  • RINSE QUINOA! Always rinse quinoa to release some of the bitterness that can come with the outside of the seed.
