Ingredient

  • 1 cup Cheerios cereal
  • 1/4 cup quinoa flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 small egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar, to taste for garnish

Preparation

  1. Step 1Put the Cheerios, quinoa flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, cocoa powder and coconut oil in a food processor. Process to mix.
  2. Step 2Add the egg and vanilla, and continue processing for a few seconds until a very soft dough has formed. Transfer to a plastic bag and freeze for at least 1 hour. You can also freeze overnight.
  3. Step 3Preheat the oven to 375 °F.
  4. Step 4Remove the dough from the freezer. Form balls by the rounded teaspoon and roll in powdered sugar. Arrange the cookies, with plenty of space between each dough ball, on a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or greased parchment paper. Bake for 8 minutes.
  5. Step 5Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet before transferring to cooling rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
