Servings 12 (Cookies)
Prevent your screen from going dark
- 2/3 cup cooked quinoa (measured after cooking)
- 1/2 cup oatmeal (ensure gluten-free if needed)
- 1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds (unsalted)
- 2 tablespoon hemp seeds (shelled)
- 2 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 cup tahini (creamy, dripping // find our tahini review here)
- 1/4 cup Maple syrup*
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional // make sure there are no dairy products if needed)
-
If you do not have cooked quinoa yet, prepare it at this time in the Instant Pot or on the stove — just 1/4 cup of uncooked quinoa will yield about 2/3 cup (124 g) cooked.
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Put aside.
-
In a medium mixing bowl, add cooked quinoa, rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds and chia seeds and mix well. Then add the tahini, maple syrup, baking soda, sea salt, and optional chocolate chips. Mix well to incorporate well.
-
Divide the batter into 1 ½ tablespoon amounts (we like to use this scoop) and place on prepared baking sheet – recipe as written should make 12 cookies. You can put them closer to each other because they don’t stretch. Gently press them with the palm of your hand and bake for 13 to 15 minutes until the edges are golden brown. Let the cookies cool for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Leftover cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days or in the freezer for 1 month or more.
