    Salted Chocolate Chip Quinoa Cookies

    Today's, bake is a vegan quinoa cookies prepared with flax egg and coconut oil. I used regular chocolate chips and can be made vegan replacing it with vegan chocolate. These cookies have a very soft texture and crumble very fast. This is the first time I used Quinoa flour and loved the nutty flavor.

    Total Time: 20 minutes
    Preparation: 10 minutes
    Baking Time: 10 minutes
    Yields: 12

    Ingredients:

    • 1 cup Quinoa Flour
    • ½ tsp. Baking Soda
    • ½ tsp. Baking Powder
    • ¼ tsp. Salt
    • ⅓ cup Coconut Oil, melted (I microwaved it for 20 – 30 seconds)
    • ½ cup Brown Sugar, packed (I used dark brown sugar)
    • 1 Flax Egg (1tbsp. flax meal + 3 tbsp. water beaten)
    • 2 tbsp. Peanut Butter
    • ½ tsp. Vanilla Extract
    • ½ cup Chocolate Chips (I used semi sweet)
    • ¼ cup dry roasted Peanuts
    • Sea Salt to sprinkle on top of the cookies

    Preparation:

    • Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
    • In a bowl combine quinoa flour baking powder, baking soda and salt.
    • In another bowl whisk together sugar, flax egg and coconut oil.
    • Add peanut butter, vanilla extract and stir to combine.
    • Gently fold flour into wet ingredients.
    • Stir in chocolate chips and peanuts.
    • Scoop cookies onto baking sheet, about 2 tbsp. per cookie, flatten slightly and sprinkle sea salt on each cookie.
    • Bake for about 10 minutes in a preheated oven until slightly brown on the edges. Cookies will feel slightly underdone but will continue to cook and harden as they cool.
    • Let cool for 5 minutes on baking sheet and transfer to a wire rack. Cool completely and store in an air tight container.

    Note:

    • Use store bought quinoa flour as it is superfine.
    • To make flax egg, combine 1 tbsp. of ground flax seeds with 3 tbsp. of water. Whisk together until it becomes gelatinous.
