I bake with my 3-year-old at least once a week, and this quinoa cookie recipe was a hit. We have tried a plethora of different cookies with different fruits and bases. My 3-year-old and older child both loved these, and I did too! They are super simple to make and sneak fiber, protein, and other nutrients into dessert. I used one cookie sheet for nine cookies; three rows of three fit well.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup water
- 1/3 cup quinoa
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- ½ cup applesauce
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Place a cover on the saucepan, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until water is completely absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
Step 3
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 quinoa mixture.
Step 4
Drop dough by spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until browned around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow cookies to cool and firm a few minutes on the baking sheets before transferring them to a rack to cool.
