Let’s get it poppin’! We gonna start off right with all the goods you’ll need. Grab your notepad and let’s make these delicious cookies!
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup raisins
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional for that extra kick!)
Instructions
- First things first, let’s cook the quinoa! In a medium saucepan, combine that rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover it. Let it cook for about 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Fluff it up with a fork and set it aside to cool.
- While the quinoa is cooling, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper because we ain’t trying to have a sticky situation!
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir that together until it’s well mixed.
- Now, add the cooked quinoa to the mixture, along with the baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and raisins. Mix it all up until the quinoa and raisins are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a spoon or your hands, take a scoop of that cookie dough and form it into balls. Place them evenly on the baking sheet, giving them a little space because they will spread out a bit.
- Pop those beauties in the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until they’re golden brown. Once they’re done, let them cool on a wire rack and get ready to indulge!
