Toast the quinoa in a frying pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes until it's dry and golden.

Make an egg replacement by mixing ground linseed with water and letting it sit for 5-10 minutes to bloom.

Once the quinoa is toasted, place it in a food processor and blend until it reaches a flour-like consistency.

In a bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and the roasted quinoa flour; mix until smooth.

In another bowl, mix water, vanilla extract, coconut sugar, and almond butter until creamy.

Add the bloomed linseed mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until incorporated.

Combine the wet and dry mixtures in a large bowl and mix until a dough forms; it will be wet and easy to work with.

Fold in dark chocolate chunks or chips into the dough.

Form the dough into balls by hand and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving minimal space between them.

Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 10-12 minutes, being careful not to overbake to maintain softness.

Let the cookies cool slightly before enjoying.
