Quinoa Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2/3 cup water
1/3 cup quinoa
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup applesauce
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Preparation

Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Place a cover on the saucepan, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook at a simmer until the moisture is absorbed completely, 15 to 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
Mix cooked quinoa, coconut, oats, flour, brown sugar, mashed bananas, applesauce, peanut butter, vanilla, salt, baking soda, and baking powder together in a large bowl. Fold chocolate chips into the quinoa mixture; drop by spoonful onto prepared baking sheets.
Bake in preheated oven until browned around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow cookies to set up a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack
