Ingredients
1/2 cup lite tasting Olive Oil1/2 cup Sugar1/2 cup brown sugar I egg1 1/2 cups white flour1 cup cooked Quinoa or Oatmeal1 tsp baking soda1/2 tsp salt1/2 cup dark chocolate chips1/2 cup Pecan Pieces1/2 cup Dehydrated Banana pieces1/2 tsp cinnamon1/4 tsp fresh ground nutmeg
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
1. toast the cooked quinoa for 15 minutes in the oven at 350 to remove excess moisture and slightly brown it. Spread out on a baking sheet and stir a few times through the baking. Watch it, you don't want to burn it.
*note~pre dehydrate the bananas the day before, takes about 8 hours in the dehydrator or use store bought.
Start with mixing the oil and the sugar, using a fork hand whip in the egg and then sprinkle all the dried ingredients over the wet. Mix it all together just enough to incorporate all the wet. Makes a sticky dough, but use hands to form into 16 balls. Put 8 on a cookie sheet and slightly flatten with a fork. Bake for 9 or 10 minutes until just set and slightly brown. When you bring them out they look a wee bit underdone, but that is what keeps them chewy not dry and crunchy. If you like them crunchy cook a few minutes longer.
