How fun is this green color & it’s natural without food coloring??
No food coloring need bc the chlorophyll in sunflower seeds reacts with baking soda when baked. This causes the green color once cookies have cooled. A fun science lesson for baking with the kiddos too!
As always, easy one bowl recipe. GF, DF, Nut free, paleo/vegan options, sugar free and keto/low carb.

Is there a brand of sunbutter you recommend and does it contain sugar?

thepeachiespoon replied:
I use sunbutter brand. They have one that’s just sunflower seeds and salt for the ingredients.
Are there any swaps for the collagen? Thanks!

thepeachiespoon replied:
Collagen makes them chewy and I haven’t tried without but you could omit or try a different type of protein powder.
Could you swap the sun butter for a different type of butter?
Thanks!

Yes but they won’t be green
Could all purpose flour be a sub for the coconut flour? Or almond flour?

thepeachiespoon replied:
Yes! An equal swap would be 1 1/2 cups of almond or regular flour. Almond adds more fat and wheat flours adds more carbs.
