When I made Joy’s Chocolate Chip Quinoa cookies, I fell instantly in love. These cookies are easy to make and full of my favourite healthy ingredients. After making quite a few delicious batches, I decided I’d add my own twist.
Oatmeal Walnut Raisin Quinoa Cookies
inspired by Joyous Health
Ingredients
4 ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup cooked quinoa (I used red quinoa in above photo)
1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup quinoa flour (*optional)
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup raisins
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
2. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
3. In a large mixing bowl, mash bananas with a fork and add sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. Stir until combined.
4. Add cooked quinoa, shredded coconut, rolled oats (and flour if you are using it) and mix well.
5. Add walnut and raisins. Stir mixture until combined.
6. Roll mixture into balls, flatten and lay out on cookie sheet.
7. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool. Enjoy with a cool glass of almond milk. Keep cookies refrigerated.
*Note – The flour is optional because when I was putting together this recipe I, like an idiot wasn’t paying attention and left the flour out! I didn’t realize it until I pulled them out of the oven. They turned out very nice and moist, adding flour will make them a bit more dense but equally delicious.
