If you are new to hemp protein and want to bake with it, start with a simple recipe that you are familiar with and try substituting up to 25% of the flour in the recipe with hemp powder instead. Here’s a cookie recipe that infuses the quinoa cookie with hemp to try.

Recipe: Hemp Infused Quinoa Cookies
Makes approx. 10 cookies
Ingredients:
1 cup cooked quinoa
¼ cup peanut butter
¼ cup date syrup (or 3 tabs alternative syrup e.g. agave)
Few drops stevia to taste
1 banana
¼ cup hemp protein*
¼ cup brown rice protein*
¼ hemp seeds (I use unshelled for extra crunch factor)
¼ cup cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract or 1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean powder
*I used hemp protein and brown rice protein as my preferred protein options as they complement each other in texture and I typically like to use hemp wherever possible. Feel free to use your own preferred options.
Method:
Mix all the peanut butter, date syrup (or alternate syrup), banana and stevia together until smooth.
Mix the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl and then add to the wet ingredients until well mixed and a thick paste is formed.
Mix in the quinoa until well coated.
Form small balls with your hands and press down onto a lined baking sheet. Bake at 180C for approximately 15 mins. Allow to cool fully.
