This is a recipe I’m in the process of perfecting so, for now, the recipe isn’t as detailed as it could be. Please feel free to help me out by trying the recipe and offering your suggestions in the comments below. Since these cookies are intended as a breakfast food, I want them to be fairly healthy, high-protein and low-sugar. But of course I still want them to be delicious.

1/2 cup butter
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup honey
1 cup dried fruit (dates, apricots, cranberries), chopped very small
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa (1/2 cup before it’s cooked)
2 cups oats
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
2 cups assorted chopped nuts and other protein of your choice: pecans, cashews, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, hemp hearts, chia seeds (I also added a bit of coconut).
1 cup chocolate chips, or chopped baking chocolate

1. Mix together the first four ingredients. Stir in the eggs and vanilla.
2. Stir in the quinoa and oats.
3. Mix together the baking soda, cinnamon and flour. Stir into the batter. Add nuts and chocolate chips and mix.
4. Drop by spoonful onto a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 11 minutes.

(Makes four dozen.)
