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.

Do you need the collagen powder?

I haven’t tried without but it may work! Love that it makes them chewy and adds Protien
It says as always vegan option. However there is now vegan replacement for the collagen… It’s grass fed animal . That is not vegan
Could I use honey instead of granulated sugar? Or will that mess up the dry/wet ratio? Thank you for this fun recipe!

It would mess up the baking ratio but any granulated will work like coconut sugar
I love this idea! I am looking forward to more

It makes a chewy texture and adds some protein but you could try to omit
