Ingredients

Makes 20

  • 3/4 cup white quinoa
  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup shelled raw sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup shelled raw pistachios, chopped
  • 1 cup dried apricots, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs plus 1 large egg white, lightly beaten
  • Vegetable-oil cooking spray

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Rinse quinoa thoroughly in a fine sieve; drain. Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add quinoa; return to a boil. Stir quinoa; cover, and reduce heat. Simmer until most liquid is absorbed and quinoa is slightly undercooked, about 12 minutes; transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, fluffing with a fork occasionally, until pale golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in a large bowl.
  2. Spread oats on baking sheet; bake until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Add oats to quinoa. Spread seeds on baking sheet; bake until lightly toasted, about 7 minutes. Add to quinoa mixture; let cool. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees.
  3. Toss nuts, apricots, sugar, and salt with quinoa mixture. Beat honey, oil, and vanilla into eggs; stir into quinoa mixture.
  4. Line a 12-by-17-inch baking sheet with parchment; lightly coat with cooking spray. Spoon 1/4 cup batter onto sheet for each cluster; space 3 inches apart. Flatten to 1/4 inch thick. Bake, rotating sheet halfway through, until crisp, about 25 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack. Store, loosely covered with foil, up to 2 days.

I'm not at all familiar with quinoa - is it the seed or flakes? Does anyone know?

you can substitute the eggs by boiling 2 tablespoons of flax seeds for 20 min. then strain in a container and let cool completely. It's a gel consistency. beat them to fluff them then add the remaining ingredients, bake off as usual. Instead of roasting your nuts, soak them for about 30 minutes, then drain them out. Bake them at 300F. this makes for a real healthy cookie, with lots of fiber and omega 3, and other generous benefits, as in eating nutritionally live food.

It would be most helpful to have the sugar content on these cookies displayed. Some of us must watch ours! Thanks,
