Vegan Chocolate Chip Quinoa Cookies
Description
Vegan Chocolate Chip Quinoa Cookies start with cooked quinoa combined in a bowl with creamy peanut butter, pure maple syrup, all-purpose flour, finely chopped walnuts, neutral cooking oil, vegan chocolate chips, and unsweetened shredded coconut. Thorough mixing produces a dough-like consistency.
The dough is portioned into 12 balls and gently pressed into cookie shapes on a greased surface. These are frozen for 20-30 minutes to set firmly, resulting in a cookie that holds together without baking. The texture includes the chew of quinoa and coconut, crunchy nuts, and melted chocolate chips once eaten.
