Report

These muffin-top quinoa cookies are packed with healthy flavor from diced apples, quinoa, and plenty of cinnamon. They taste even better when drizzled with a little bit of honey before serving!

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, sugars, and honey with a hand mixer until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Beat in eggs and extract; continue beating for 2 minutes. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Fold in quinoa, oats, and apple.
Spoon two tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto baking sheets, spaced one inch apart. Bake until golden brown, 12–15 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
