  • 24

Ingredients

  • 1/2 stick of butter or butter substitute, softened
  • 3/4 cup quinoa flakes
  • 3/4 cup certified gluten free rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup pulverized rolled oats or oat flour (I like the texture better this way, but you can use rolled oats here too)
  • 1 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking soda
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1/2 cup gluten free toffee, crushed
  • 8 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped coarsely

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mix together the quinoa flakes, rolled oats, and baking soda. In your stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar together for about 3 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla. Beat until combined. Add the peanut butter and beat until smooth. Add the oat /quinoa mixture and beat until combined. Mix in the toffee chips and chocolate chunks. Refrigerate the dough for a few hours. Roll the dough into small balls and place on cookie sheet. Bake in the oven for about 10-13 minutes on 350 degrees. If your cookies are smaller they will bake in 8 minutes. Be careful not to overbake these cookies.
