I have a new no-bake cookie for you today. These Chocolate Coconut Quinoa Cookies are delicious. They are vegan and naturally gluten-free. You only need a few simple ingredients and there is no food processor needed!
I think these cookies are healthy enough for breakfast too. The quinoa flakes and nut butter add a nice amount of fat and protein, keeping you full for a while. If you don’t want to use quinoa flakes, you can use quick oats instead.
This recipe is also easy to make nut free by using sunflower butter. I imagine it should work out just fine. These healthy cookies literally took 5 minutes to whip together too!
We shot a video to go along with this recipe as well. You can view it below. For more videos, you can subscribe to my You Tube Channel.
