Quinoa Cookies!!

I saw these on Pinterest, and had to try them!  I adapted the recipe a bit, and they are delicious!!

Ingredients:

• 1 c. of Quinoa, cooked according to package directions (I put a bit of Ideal Brown Sugar in the water)
• 1 c. Old Fashioned Oats
• 1/2 c. Shredded, Unsweetened Coconut
• 1/2 c. Natural Almond Butter or Peanut Butter (I've made it both ways, and prefer the PB)
• 1/3 c. Honey
• 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
• 2 tbsp. Ground Flaxseed
• 1 tsp. Cinnamon
• 1/4 c. Mini Dark Chocolate Chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 170 degrees

Combine cooled quinoa with oats, coconut, and cinnamon

Using Magic Bullet, food processor, or coffee grinder, grind flaxseed until powdery

In a separate bowl, combine almond/peanut butter, honey, vanilla, and flax

Mix all ingredients together and fold in chocolate chips

Form the mixture until balls and flatted on parchment paper on a baking sheet.  Bake for 1 hour

ENJOY!
