Adding high-protein quinoa to a basic chocolate peanut butter sugar-free cookie works out just splendidly. These little quinoa cookies are vegetarian, vegan, high in protein, refined-sugar free, and, if you use gluten-free oatmeal, they're gluten-free as well. And they are so easy to make. What's not to love?

Enjoy these healthy cookies for breakfast on-the-go, as a high-energy trail food or add it to your repertoire of super-healthy desserts.

2 cups cooked quinoa
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
3 tablespoons maple syrup
2/3 cup quick-cooking oats
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/4 tablespoon kosher salt or sea salt

Gather the ingredients.
Pre-heat oven to 350 F and lightly grease a baking sheet.
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl just until well combined.
Drop the mixture by a large spoonful onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the oven for 18 to 20 minutes, until lightly firm.
