Gluten free vegan quinoa shortbread biscuits.

10 Replies

Hi everyone,

I’ve been experimenting with dairy free baking and my vegan friend and neighbour is popping round this afternoon so I said I’ll bake some cookies.

I ground some quinoa in my coffee grinder to make a quinoa flour as I like adding quinoa to food as it’s so healthy.

Here’s the recipe: 50g ground quinoa 250g plain gluten free flour 200g Pure vegan cooking block 100g brown sugar 50ml of vegan single cream and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence.

I just weighed it and then whizzed it up and spread it in a Pyrex dish and baked for approx 25 mins @170C

Enjoy your Saturday folks and stay safe especially if travelling this weekend.

They look very nice Jerry, quite similar to shortbread. 🙂

Thank you Sue and your'e so right about quinoa, it also adds protein which important in gluten free baking so its win win and then I get to eat them so even better. 👍 😁

This sounds really wonderful, Hidden ! :-) I know your friend/neighbor is going to enjoy the biscuits. What flavor quinoa did you use for the biscuits? :-)

Hey thanks Leah my neighbour loved the biscuits and took some home. I buy unflavoured quinoa so when ground it’s like a coarse flour. 😊

That's a great idea-- unflavored quinoa. I'll have to check to see if we have that and then add it to the biscuits when I can get them baked. :-)

You're welcome! Anytime! :-)
