in a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana, dairy-free yogurt, vanilla extract, and almond butter (or sun butter). mix well until smooth.
in a separate bowl, mix together the gluten-free oat flour, flax meal, almond flour, cinnamon, and baking powder.
add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until fully combined.
fold in the cooked quinoa, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and hemp seeds until evenly distributed.
scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into large cookies. the batter will be sticky, so you may need to slightly wet your fingers to shape the cookies.
bake in the preheated oven for 25-27 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are set.
allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet to set properly.
(optional) top the cooled cookies with plain vegan cream cheese before serving.
