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

⅔ cup water
⅓ 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

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.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
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.
Drop dough by spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets.
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.
