Loaded Quinoa Cookies
Who doesn’t love a friggen cookie? Anyone who says they don’t is a mysterious creature from another land. I love these ones especially because of the ingredients. I have never claimed to be a baker, so it usually takes me a month or two to come up with another sweets recipe. If it’s loaded with good ingredients, low in sugar and I can have 2 or 3 with out feeling like crap – me likey! I think my favourite part of these guys, is the added cooked quinoa. A little extra “complete” protein, minimal sugar, good fibre and healthy fats…….perfecto monster cookie that won’t go straight to my butt cheeks!
