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.

Could all purpose flour be a sub for the coconut flour? Or almond flour?

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.
