Birdseed Cookies

Yesterday I declared my intention to tell you about the quinoa cookies I made.


Now, I have to put a disclaimer out there that I think they are delicious, but they are not 'cookies' in the 'I-could-eat-the-whole-bowl-of-raw-dough' cookies.  They taste healthy!  

Sprouted Quinoa Cookies
3/4 cup pecans 
1 cup quinoa, rinsed and soaked overnight (until tails pop out)
 3 soaked dates
1 ripe banana
 1 tsp vanilla
 1/2 tsp salt
 1 tsp cinnamon
add-ins of choice (raisins, walnuts, goji berries, chocolate chips, etc.)

Pulverize pecans in a food processor.  Add all of the other ingredients and mix until smooth.  Hand mix in any add-ins and then spoon onto lined D trays.  Dehydrate four hours (105 degrees) and then remove liners and continue to dehydrate on the mesh for another four hours. 

I added in left over chocolate chips from Matthew Kenny's Everyday Raw



Question:  Do you like the taste of quinoa?  (I know someone who can't eat it because she thinks it tastes like birdseed.)
