To make these quinoa cookies gluten-free, use gluten-free all-purpose flour like this.

Coconut sugar could likely be replaced with any other type of sugar that you have on hand.

Grape seed oil works well for this recipe, but any oil will do the trick!

To make these quinoa cookies dairy-free, you could use coconut cream for the topping instead of whipped cream.
