Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Place a cover on the saucepan, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until water is completely absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.

Mix cooked quinoa, coconut, oats, flour, brown sugar, mashed bananas, applesauce, peanut butter, vanilla, salt, baking soda, and baking powder together in a large bowl. Fold chocolate chips into quinoa mixture.
