Quinoa Breakfast Cookies
Ingrediente
- ½ ceaşcă Unt de arahide (nesărat) - (nota 1)
- ½ ceaşcă piure de banane - 1 large ripe banana (note 2)
- ¼ ceaşcă Sirop de arțar - (nota 3)
- 3 linguri Ulei de cocos - (nota 4)
- 1 linguriță Extract de vanilie
- 1 ceaşcă Quinoa gătită
- 1 ¼ ceaşcă Făină de ovăz de casă - (nota 5)
- 1 linguriță Praf de copt
Adds-in – optional
- 2 lingură Seminte de floarea soarelui
- ⅓ ceaşcă Chipsuri de ciocolată neagră fără lactate
Instrucțiuni
- Preîncălziți cuptorul la 180 °C. Acoperiți o tavă mare de copt cu hârtie de copt. Ungeți ușor hârtia cu spray de ulei de gătit. Dați deoparte.
- 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.

Ingrediente și înlocuiri
You only need a few wholesome ingredients for these cookies. Here’s how to pick them.

- Unt de arahide – 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.
- piure de banane – It provides sweetness, moisture, and binding. You can also use unsweetened applesauce for a different flavor profile.
- Sirop de arțar – This is a liquid sweetener that adds sweetness and moisture. Agave syrup or coconut nectar are good alternatives.
- Ulei de cocos – 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.
- Extract de vanilie – Acest lucru sporește aroma generală.
- Quinoa gătită – This adds protein and texture. Ensure it’s cooled to prevent excess moisture in the dough.
- Făină de ovăz – 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.
- Praf de copt – This helps the cookies rise slightly.
- Seminte de floarea soarelui – This adds texture and nutrients. Sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, or chopped nuts like walnuts or almonds are good alternatives.
- Chipsuri de ciocolată neagră fără lactate – These add sweetness and flavor. Dried cranberries or raisins can also be used.

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.
- Dimensiune uniformă a fursecurilor – Use a cookie scoop for uniform size and even baking.
- Apăsare blândă – Lightly oil your palm to press the cookies down without sticking.
- Indicator maro auriu – Bake until the edges and middle turn golden brown for a crispier cookie.
- Varietate de arome – Change the add-ins for different flavors, chopped nuts or dried fruits are great options.
- Timp răcire – Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before moving to a rack.
- Soluție de stocare – 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.










love this recipe! I’m make it practically every week!
Thank you so much, it makes me so happy!
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.

Mulțumesc !
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. 🙂

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!
Breakfasts became cool for kids!
