How to Make Quinoa Breakfast Cookies

Ingredients

1 cup oat flour
1 cup (additional) whole rolled oats
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ cup cooked quinoa
1 cup finely shredded carrots
2 tablespoons ground flaxseed + 5 tablespoons warm water
½ cup almond butter
¼ cup coconut oil, melted
½ cup maple syrup
½ cup nuts and/or seeds (walnuts + pepitas)
½ cup dried cranberries

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Process 1¼ cups of rolled oats into a fine flour and measure one level cup.
In a large bowl, stir together the oat flour, the remaining 1 cup oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and sea salt.
Fold in the cooked quinoa and shredded carrots, stirring until the carrots are 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, whisk together the almond butter, coconut oil, and maple syrup; stir in the flaxseed mixture.
Add the wet ingredients to the 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 baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Store in an airtight container or freeze.

How to Serve Quinoa Breakfast Cookies

These cookies are great warm or at room temperature. Serve them as part of your breakfast with a glass of milk or your favorite smoothie. They are also perfect for a snack or even as a light dessert.

How to Store Quinoa Breakfast Cookies

Store your Quinoa Breakfast Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep them fresh for longer, you can freeze them. Just place them in a freezer-safe bag or container, and they can last up to three months.

Tips to Make Quinoa Breakfast Cookies

Make sure your quinoa is fully cooked and cooled before adding it to the mix.
You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup, depending on your taste.
If you don’t have almond butter, you can substitute it with peanut butter or any nut butter you prefer.

Variation

Feel free to experiment with different nuts and seeds. You can also add chocolate chips for a sweet twist or swap out cranberries for raisins or chopped dried apricots.

FAQs

Yes! Use gluten-free oats and ensure all other ingredients are certified gluten-free.
