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.
