Ingredients

• 1 cup Cooked quinoa
• 1 cup Gluten-free rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 Egg
• 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
• 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, gluten-free rolled oats, and almond flour.

Step 3

Add the coconut sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt to the dry ingredients, and mix well.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and the egg until thoroughly combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. If using chocolate chips or chopped nuts, fold them into the dough at this stage.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.

Step 7

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
