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.
INGREDIENTS
WET:
- 1 c sunflower butter @sunbutter
- 1/2 c egg whites or 3 eggs or flax eggs for vegan

- 1/3 c monk fruit or granulated sweetener of choice
- 1 tsp baking soda (not powder)

STEPS
- Combine wet ingredients in a bowl. Add all dry except the chocolate. Stir well.
- Form into cookie shapes (they don’t expand while baking).

You expressly give eggless option but then put collage power in which come from animals and give no option for that!

So sorry! Some have an egg allergy but am not a vegan recipe creator but specialize in blood sugar friendly recipes. Collagen makes them chewy and adds Protein for more nutrient balance
The sun butter is unsweetened, right? Thanks! 😊

Yes! But sweetened will work too
Wow! These are sooo fun! My girls love them, what a fun surprise and honestly I feel like they are nutrient dense enough we’re going to make them often. We used sun warrior vanilla protein instead of collagen, and coconut sugar

Thanks for commenting! So thankful 🍀
I was so skeptical about this actually working and it TOTALLY DID. Absolutely made my day!
I subbed AP for the flour and didn’t use collagen powder at all. I didn’t see the comment about using 1.5 cups of AP for the ratio to coconut flour so I used 3/4 cup AP flour and it worked! I also used boxed egg whites and real sugar. They did spread but enjoyably so- nice and soft and chewy. We will make these again!

Never mind! It works! The key ingredient is patience! Haha. You have to wait 10-15 minutes!
