Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2

Add the applesauce, sugar and nut or seed butter, baking powder and salt to a mixing bowl and stir until smooth and combined.

Step 3

Make some oat flour if you don’t have any prepared, then add the oat flour and quinoa and gently fold to combine.

Step 4

Fold in the chocolate chips.

Step 5

Prepare a baking tray with a quick spray of non-stick cooking spray or use a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.

Step 6

Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the baking tray to make 12 cookies. You can use your fingers to shape them a bit but no need to be perfect.

Step 7

Bake for 26 minutes then remove from the oven and let cool on the pan for 2-3 minutes before gently transferring to a cooling rack. Let cool completely before storing. The cookies can be stored at room temperature for up to 4 days in an air-tight container, in the fridge for about a week or frozen for up to 2 months.
