These cookies are made using nutrient-dense quinoa, a complete protein, rich in iron, minerals and amino acids, rye flakes and flaxseed. You can experiment by replacing rye flakes with oats or quinoa flakes or a mix of two. Dark chocolate chips can also be added to the batter, for a richer, moister taste. And of course you can always frost them with chocolate. Enjoy them as a wholesome breakfast or as a tasty snack any time you like.
- 150 g Rye flakes
- 150 g Cooked quinoa
- 2 tbsp Flaxseed
- 70 g Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Vanilla protein powder
- ½ tsp Baking soda
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 90 ml Coconut oil, melted
- 70 ml Maple syrup
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2-3 tbsp Coconut milk
|
- Melt the coconut oil over low heat. Set aside to cool. Roughly blend rye flakes into powder. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
- Whisk together the blended rye flakes, cooked quinoa, flaxseed, brown sugar,vanilla protein powder, baking soda, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl.
- Stir in melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract and coconut milk. Mix to combine. Shape the dough into inch balls and flatten each into a round circle with the palm of your hand. Place them on the parchment-lined baking trays. Bake for 10 minutes until golden brown.

All kinds of healthy goodies in here. I can imagine the quiona would add a nice texture to the cookies. I may have to do some experimenting. You know how much I just hate making cookies, lol.

Hello. These look and sound good. Is the protein powder essential? Could I leave it out or will it affect the structure of the bake? Thank you.
You have some of the most delicious combinations Angie. Two of my favorites here todeay - chocolate and rye.
Sam

Awesome idea! Love a healthy cookie :) And your photos always provide inspiration, Angie.
I didn't cook with quinoa yet (shhhh...) Now I see I'll have to - I like your creations with quinoa!
Oh I wonder if I add some dried fruit how this would be... I would love my children to enjoy something this nutrient packed!
Beautiful, yes I will take it with dark chocolate :))
Quinoa is one of my favourite grains. Bet it's great in a cookie.
These have to be the ultimate in healthy cookies! I think raisins would be a nice add-in too.
These look really yummy and sound super healthy!

That's a first I've seen - quinoa cookies! Very interesting! Love quinoa but never tried it with cookies!
Another recipe convincing me to use more quinoa. Quinoa in cookies tells me that the little grain is even more versatile that I thought. What healthy and tasty cookies. They look crunchy which is exactly how I love my cookies. Love the idea of a drizzle of chocolate! :)
This is what I love about your blog...You take healthy simple ingredients and make them into something delectable.
Velva

These are such wonderfully healthy cookies…I’ve never thought to make cookies with quiona.

These look like the perfect breakfast cookie. Lots of protein and healthy flax.
Hi Angie, this cookies look awesome. Great to go with any iced latte.

Wow, you are using all the nutrient-dense ingredients here such as quinoa, rye and flax seeds. So these are super-power cookies!
This is so interesting. The fact that you used cooked quinoa is very different. Wonder if you could blend the raw quinoa down to a flour for this as well...Hmmmm.
Chock full of delicious and nutritious ingredients!
I must try these cookies, they look fantastic :).
So healthy and so delicious looking!
We have everything in the pantry, so no excuse. Need to give them a go! :)
I need those, I need those, I neeeeed those cookies in my life. Just started cooking with flax recently and am in love. XOXO
What? These look like a nutritional powerhouse ~ You rock :-)
I made these cookies. They are yummy even with my happy accident of melting the carob chips with warm quinoa. My family loved them. Thanks for sharing.
These look fantastic. With these great photos, I can almost taste them!
I love cooking with quinoa and healthy grains. That surely does sound worth a try.
