Can quinoa be used instead of flour for cookies? I use a non-gluten flour combination of:


4 cups brown rice flour
2/3 cup tapioca flour
1/3 cup potato starch


Would it work to use quinoa in this combination as an addition or substitute for all of part of any of the ingredients?
I have used quinoa flour in various recipe and it would have a similar effect as the brown rice flour, though its taste would differ. I would recommend against substituting it (at least not 1:1) for the tapioca flour as that is likely working as a kind of binding agent to some extent. Experimentation may yield different results based on the ratio, but also tapioca has less flavor (which may be ideal as a balance).
