Banana Pumpkin Quinoa Cookies

These gluten-free and vegan cookies are perfect for parents looking to sneak some extra veggies + protein into their children's diets. With plant based protein from the quinoa, oats, and peanut butter, these cookies also provide beta carotene, vitamin C, and iron from the pureed pumpkin. I give these cookies to my kids as a breakfast baked good or afternoon snack... it's so versatile and nutritious!
