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.
