Easy Pumpkin Spice Quinoa Cookies
I was testing recipes a couple of weeks ago and figured out that oats could be replaced with cooked quinoa in just about any oat-based cookie recipe. Since then, I’ve gone a little cookie crazy. I’ve made these Quinoa Carrot Cake Breakfast Cookies, Quinoa Zucchini Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies, and Quinoa Banana Bread Bread Breakfast Cookies. They’re just SO good! And now…these Pumpkin Spice Quinoa Cookies! I just returned from a fabulous weekend in Park City, Utah for the Better Blog Retreat and asked Leanne to guest post in my absence. Please welcome today’s guest poster and Holistic Nutritionist, Leanne Vogel of Healthful Pursuit.

Pumpkin Quinoa Cookie Alternatives:
To make these quinoa cookies gluten-free, use gluten-free all-purpose flour like this. Coconut sugar could likely be replaced with any other type of sugar that you have on hand. Grape seed oil works well for this recipe, but any oil will do the trick! To make these quinoa cookies dairy-free, you could use coconut cream for the topping instead of whipped cream.
