- 1 cup (90g) quinoa flakes
- 1/2 cup (80g) brown rice flour
- 1/3 cup + 1Tbsp (45g) quinoa flour
- 1 cup (220g) raw unrefined sugar
- 3/4 cup (60g) desiccated coconut
- 125g butter or dairy-free margarine
- 1Tbsp golden syrup
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 Tbsp boiling water
Method
- Preheat oven to 170C.
- Place quinoa flakes, brown rice flour, quinoa flour, raw sugar and coconut into a medium bowl. Melt butter/margarine and golden syrup together in a small pan over medium heat.
- Mix the baking soda with boiling water and add to the dry ingredients along with the melted butter mixture, using a wooden spoon stir to fully combine.
- Roll tablespoons of mixture into balls, squeezing the mixture together if it seems crumbly. Slightly flatten and place 2-3cms apart on baking paper lined oven trays.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cookies have risen, then fallen and have become dark golden brown in colour. Remove from the oven and set aside for five minutes to set before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. Store in an airtight container for up to seven days. Makes 30.
