Today I'm going to share a recipe for some healthy cookies made with quinoa, a little-known grain that's healthier than wheat... by a long shot.

Coconut Raisin Quinoa Cookies

2 cups quinoa flakes (like oatmeal), found in health food stores
1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup raisins
4 Tbs unsalted butter, softened
2 eggs
3 Tbs water
2 Tbs vanilla flavoring
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/4 tsp white stevia powder

Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease a cookie sheet or cover with parchment paper.

Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse until well-combined and tacky.

Form into two-inch balls and place two inches apart on the cookie sheet. Flatten slightly and shape (the cookies don't spread very much when they bake). Bake for 15 minutes, until golden.

Try these. You'll like 'em.
