@Adira: haha no your not! It doesn't look bad to me either but I can't bring myself to eat quinoa at the moment (thinking about it makes me want to gag). I made the crust the same way I make his cookies, just without rasains, and they are actually really good! The pizza might be a tad sweet because of the banana but at least it's natural lol.

I'm glad it doesn't look so nasty to everyone! You all would do it too if you had to Anything for our LO's

@T.H.O.U.: omg thats's hilarious! I would NEVER imagine, but I can't stomach jelly at all

@LuLu Mom: I hope you don't get to this point, but if you do hit me up. I may have a few resources for you.

@looch: I just mash 1 banana, add 2/3 cup quinoa flour (I make my own in the Vitamix by grinding whole seeds. It tastes better and is A LOT cheaper), add 1 tsp oil and 2-3 tsp water (enough to make a cookie batter). After that you can add whatever extras and bake at 350 ~15 min.

I find quinoa baked goods take a little longer to bake compared to regular flour. The cookies don't spread so you can pack them on one sheet and you can omit the oil completely if you wanted, just adjust with water (we leave it in because DS needs the fats. I used to use more bu have adjusted the amount down over time and the recipe still comes out the same).

BTW, I think this is a win! I actually made this yesterday and he usually eats something "new" day 1 and not again, but has been chomping down on pizza all day today too!

@looch: They may have a quinoa taste (if your not used to it) but I think grinding your own flour really cuts down on that and the banana masks it some without being over powering. Otherwise they are really good. I also love that as long as you have quinoa the ingredients are almost always on hand and they literally take <5 min to mix PS. We grind a few cups of quinoa and store in the fridge for ease of use.

I have a more complex gluten free chocolate chip cookie recipe I used to use before my insane TED and my family actually prefers them over regular ones!
