These oat cookies have got the added goodness of quinoa, one of the original superfoods, to help give us longer lasting energy. As with all of my recipes, I use unrefined sugar, and in this case, rice syrup or coconut nectar. However, honey, maple syrup or xylitol would also be fine.
Dark chocolate chips or shredded coconut can be added for extra yumminess!
