Biscoitos de Quinoa para o Café da Manhã
Ingredientes
- ½ xícara Manteiga de amendoim (sem sal) - (nota 1)
- ½ xícara Banana amassada - 1 large ripe banana (note 2)
- ¼ xícara Maple Syrup - (nota 3)
- 3 colheres de sopa Óleo de côco - (nota 4)
- 1 colher de chá de extrato de baunilha
- 1 xícara Quinoa cozida
- 1 ¼ xícara Farinha de Aveia Caseira - (nota 5)
- 1 colher de chá Fermento em pó
Adds-in – optional
- 2 colher de sopa Sementes De Girassol
- ⅓ xícara Gotas de chocolate amargo sem lactose
Instruções
- Pré-aqueça o forno a 180 °C (350 °F). Forre uma assadeira grande com papel manteiga. Unte levemente o papel com óleo de cozinha em spray. Reserve.
- In a mixing bowl, add banana, mash and measure exactly 1/2 cup of mashed bananas. Remove the excess and freeze it for later to use in a smoothie.
- Add in peanut butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir with a rubber spatula to incorporate.
- Fold in cooked quinoa, oat flour, baking powder, seeds, and chocolate chips.
- Combine until it forms a sticky cookie dough. Stir for a good 2 minutes to give the fiber in oat flour time to absorb the liquid in the dough. If too wet after that time, stir in an extra 1-2 tablespoons of oat flour.
- Using a lightly oiled cookie dough scoop, scoop some batter and release it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until no more batter left. I made 10 large cookies about 2 1/2 tablespoons batter each.
- Press down the top of each cookie with lightly oiled hand palm.
- Bake the cookies at 350 °F (180 °C) for 19-22 minutes or until the sides are nicely golden brown.
- Let them cool down for 10 minutes on the cookie sheet at room temperature, then transfer them onto a cooling rack.

Ingredientes e Substituições
You only need a few wholesome ingredients for these cookies. Here’s how to pick them.

- Manteiga de amendoim – This adds fat, protein, and flavor. Alternatives include other nut or seed butters like almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter if you have nut allergies.
- Banana amassada – It provides sweetness, moisture, and binding. You can also use unsweetened applesauce for a different flavor profile.
- Maple Syrup – This is a liquid sweetener that adds sweetness and moisture. Agave syrup or coconut nectar are good alternatives.
- Óleo de côco – It adds moisture and fat, contributing to the cookie’s texture. Melted plant-based butter or other light-flavored oils like olive oil also work.
- de extrato de baunilha – This enhances the overall flavor.
- Quinoa cozida – This adds protein and texture. Ensure it’s cooled to prevent excess moisture in the dough.
- Farinha de aveia – This forms the base of the cookie, providing fiber and structure. You must use oat flour for this recipe, blending rolled oats into flour is a simple process. You can use gluten-free certified oats.
- Fermento em pó – This helps the cookies rise slightly.
- Sementes De Girassol – This adds texture and nutrients. Sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, or chopped nuts like walnuts or almonds are good alternatives.
- Gotas de chocolate amargo sem lactose – These add sweetness and flavor. Dried cranberries or raisins can also be used.

Dicas de confeitaria da Carine
Let me share a few more tips to make these cookies super easy for you, even if you’re a beginner.
- Cooled Quinoa Essential – Use fully cooled quinoa to avoid a wet, unmanageable dough.
- Oat Flour Hydration – Give the oat flour 2 minutes to absorb the liquid for the right dough consistency.
- Even Cookie Size – Use a cookie scoop for uniform size and even baking.
- Gentle Pressing – Lightly oil your palm to press the cookies down without sticking.
- Golden Brown Indicator – Bake until the edges and middle turn golden brown for a crispier cookie.
- Variedade de sabor – Change the add-ins for different flavors, chopped nuts or dried fruits are great options.
- Tempo de resfriamento – Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before moving to a rack.
- Solução de Armazenamento – Store in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
- Thawing Tip – Thaw frozen cookies at room temperature the day before you want to eat them.










Is there any other type of flour than oat that can be used? I am allergic to oats.
I am pretty sure you can use almond flour with a pinch of flaxmeal as a binder. It won’t be as firm, you may need more almond flour to firm up the batter too, but it should deliver something tasty.
Bom estado, com sinais de uso
Obrigado !
Hi Carine. Would a frozen banana work for this recipe and if so, would you recommend thawing it first or just blending it up? Thank you in advance for any advice you can provide.
I would thaw the banana first, remove the extra juice/water released by the frozen banana, and then mash and measure the amount called by the recipe. You might need a little more or less banana as frozen banana will have a different moisture rate compared to fresh.
One more question. Would quinoa flour (blended at home) work the same or should it be just cooked quinoa?
Not at all, cooked quinoa is moist and soft, quinoa flour is dry and absorb moisture it will be a new recipe to create.
Thank you so very much for the response and suggestions. 🙂
O prazer é meu!
It’s really nice recipe, well balanced, nice flavours. Well done, I’ll certainly make some more.
Muito obrigado 🙂

Is this recipe Diabetic Friendly as well?
I am not diabetic so I am unsure how much carbs you are allowed to eat, or which ingredients are fine for you. The cookie use wholesome ingredient but still have 28 grams of carbs from the added banana, and maple syrup, which I thick are way too high for diabetes.
You cannot sub the oat flour? I’m allergic to oats.
Well, I didn’t try something else yet, it doesn’t mean it couldn’t work with something else like all-purpose flour or all-purpose gluten-free flour. But any change you will do will definetly required new measurement and results in a change of texture in your cookies.
Delicious recipe! we all loved them.
Super easy to make. I made smaller cookies and managed to get 16 out of the batch!
