Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ cup white sugar, (organic for vegan-friendly)
- ¼ cup light brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup cooked quinoa, cooled
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup apple, diced (about 1 medium apple)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugars, and honey with a hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs and vanilla and continue beating for 2 minutes. Add the flour mixture and beat just until combined.
- Fold in the cooled quinoa, oats, and diced apple by hand, mixing just until evenly distributed.
- Drop heaping tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on the pan for a couple of minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Drizzle with a little honey just before serving, if desired.
