Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup cooked quinoa
• 1 cup Gluten Free 1 to 1 baking flour
• ½ cup shredded coconut
• ¼ cup coconut sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 4 egg whites, room temperature
• ¼ cup coconut oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

• Preheat oven 350 F. Prepare a baking sheet with a slip mat.
• In a small bowl, sift together flour, shredded coconut and baking powder.
• In another larger bowl, mix together egg whites, vanilla and sugar. Slowly fold in the flour mixture.
• Last stir in the coconut oil and quinoa (adding the oil in last prevents it from hardening).
• Drop 2 heaping tablespoons of batter onto the baking sheet to form a cookie. Repeat until all the batter is gone.
• Bake 10-12 minutes until cookies are slightly browned around the edges.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool 5 minutes on the baking sheet before gently removing and transferring to a cooling rack. These are delicate cookies so use a sturdy spatula to remove them.
• Store in the refrigerator up to one week.
