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

Omitted the collagen. It didn’t work ;( is that why?
Followed recipe exactly. It absolutely works (and worked immediately)! If you are having issues turning green it’s probably either old baking soda or the sun butter has too many added ingredients interrupting the chemical reaction

I’m so glad! Thanks for sharing and yes, that sounds like a factor for sure.
If doing this without collagen, do you just replace with more coconut flour? Or could you substitute unflavored whey protein? We’re vegetarians, and I don’t think I’d be able to get a vegan collagen in time to make these for st Patrick’s day.

I’d try with some whey! The collagen makes them chewy so the texture may be diff but it’ll work
Can I omit the collagen or is there an alternative?

I haven’t tried without but worth a try!
So to use regular wheat or all purpose flour it would be 1.5 cups? Not just 1/2 cup like the coconut flour?

Correct! It’s a different absorption
