Carrot Quinoa Cookies

[cruelshoes]

I modified these from an oatmeal cookie recipe. Sorry the picture is not better, but I am not the greatest photographer in the world. My kids love these cookies, and it is a good way to sneak more veggies into them...

Carrot Quinoa Cookies

1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon GF vanilla
1 egg
1 cup Bette Hagman 4 flour bean mix
1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
3/4 cup quinoa flakes
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup shredded carrots

Preheat oven to 375. Whisk together honey, oil, vanilla and egg in a bowl. In another bowl combine flour mix, xanthan, salt and pumpkin pie spice. Add to wet ingredients and mix well. Add quinoa flakes, walnuts and carrots. Blend well. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Drop teaspoonfulls on a parchment-paper lined baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven approximately 12 minutes. Do not overbake, or the bottoms will burn.
