Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir in the cooked quinoa, oats, pecans and coconut. In a separate mixing bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, applesauce, peanut butter, brown sugar and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl and stir until fully combined. Fold the chocolate chips into the mixture. Drop by spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets.
