Quinoa Choc Chip Cookies

Serves: 6 cookies Prep Time: 15 minutes Cooking Time: 25-30 minutes 25-30 minutes
Nutrition facts: 200 calories 20 grams fat

Ingredients

  • Vegan Quinoa Chocolate Chip Cookies 2 tbsp raw quinoa
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 4 tbsp maple syrup
  • 4 tbsp almond butter
  • 70g / 2.5oz oats
  • 35g / 1.25oz oat flour (or blend 35g oats in a high speed blender to make oat flour)
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 60g / 2.1oz dark chocolate

Method

  1. Rinse the raw quinoa in cold water then transfer to a small saucepan along with 6 tbsp of water. Cover with a lid, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 12 - 15 minutes.
  2. Once the quinoa is cooked, transfer to a bowl and leave to cool before carrying out the next steps. It's important there's no water remaining in the quinoa otherwise your cookie dough might be too soggy.
  3. Preheat the oven to 180°C fan / 400°F fan assisted and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
  4. Peel the banana and add the flesh to a large mixing bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth and runny. Then add the cooked quinoa, maple syrup, almond butter, oats, oat flour and bicarbonate of soda, and stir until fully combined.
  5. Roughly chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and add to the mixing bowl, but set aside a small handful of chocolate pieces for later.
  6. Give the mix another stir, then divide into 6 and roll each piece into a ball. Place each ball on the lined baking tray and flatten out into a round cookie shape with your fingers. Tip: wet your fingers with a little water to avoid the cookie mixture sticking to your hands. Then push the remaining pieces of dark chocolate into the cookies.
  7. Bake the cookies in the oven for 12 -15 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
  8. Remove the cookies from the oven and leave to cool before devouring. These will last for up to 5 days in an air-tight container, ideally somewhere cool.

I need this! Thank you for sharing this recipe. Is the bicarbonate of soda the same as baking soda?

Hi Guys
I made these last night, they were super tasty but very wet and gooey when making them into balls – is that right? Yours look less wet and more solid – if that makes sense! Thanks Lu.

Hey Lu, ah yes ours were not that wet when we rolled them into balls. They tend to be a little sticky but manageable. Just to check was your quinoa fluffy or did it still have some water in it? You could also try adding a few more oats to dry the mixture out. Hope this helps, Roxy

I had a bitter aftertaste to mine. What did I do wrong ? Could it be the baking soda ? I also used sugar free maple
Syrup ? Or the quinoa ? It really turned me off. Because the texture was perfect.
