I stumbled upon this recipe at foodrefashionista's blog... and was intrigued by the idea of a quinoa cookie! I have adapted it to fit in our cancer prevention diet by adding ground flax-seeds, a little rye flour and substituting coconut oil for coating the cookie sheets. This is a high protein, high fiber recipe. I used raw cocoa powder.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked Red Quinoa
- 1 Banana
- ¼ cup Almond meal
- ¼ cup White bean flour (or Pamela's Gluten-Free all-purpose flour)
- ¼ c. Rye flour
- 1 Tbs. freshly ground Flax-seeds
- ¼ cup + 1 Tbs. Xylitol (or your preferred low-glycemic natural sweetener)
- 1 small Apple
- 1 tbsp. raw Cocoa powder
- 2 tsp. Vanilla
- 1 tsp. ground Cinnamon
- 1 tsp. Baking powder
- 1 tsp. Baking soda
- Pinch of Salt
- Coconut Oil for pan
Directions
- Rinse and cook quinoa according to package directions
- Put banana, apple and almond meal in processor and pulse until fruit is mashed
- Mix in the rest of the ingredients
- Drop batter from a Tablespoon onto oiled cookie sheets
- Cook in a 350° F oven for 20 minutes
- Remove from sheet and cool on racks
Makes about 22 cookies.
~ Buen provecho! ♥
