1 Bowl Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Sunbutter Cookies. Cinnamony Sunflower seed butter Oatmeal Cookies. These Soft Sunbutter Oatmeal Cookies come together really quickly and make a great snack or treat. Refined Sugar free. Vegan Nut-free Recipe. Can be Gluten-free. 8 Ingredients.
These Fudgy Soft cookies are a favorite in my house these days. I got a jar of sunbutter to test out a few recipes for the book, to test nut-free options and list them with the recipes. The jar was still 3/4 full and was calling out to me.
I used my Almond butter oatmeal cookies as reference. These cookies come out thick, soft and are hearty cookies to snack or, for breakfast or dessert. Sunbutter can cause the cookies to have green centers as it reacts with baking soda. The lemon juice usually should neutralize it enough. But in case you do get green centers, that is normal and edible. You can see some dark green peaking through in some cookies in the pictures. The cookies need just 1 Bowl.

Left out the lemon juice and my cookies turned green! They’re super tasty nonetheless. Had to immediately make another batch after trying the first cookie haha.
Hahaha, yes that happens with sunbutter!
What can I substitute the lemon juice with? Citrus allergy.
Omit it. The cookies might have a green center 🙂
Delicious and healthy! Was looking for something to eat while I’m eliminating so many things from my diet while breastfeeding in case that’s affecting my little one’s reflux and stumbled upon this recipe. Made it with pasha chocolate chips so it’s dairy free too. I added the lemon juice but still had the green middles. Didn’t affect the taste but scared my husband! Lol! I feel like if you want the cinnamon punch you should double the cinnamon.
yay! thank you!
Hello Richa,
I have tried a few of your recipes, they are delicious!
Can you tell me what program you use for your recipe template? I am shopping around to find a good one.
Thank you Richa💚
I use wp recipe maker for template and nutrition
Just made these and they are very good, Richa—thanks! I used almond butter, whole wheat pastry flour, and melted Earth Balance. Next time I’ll add pecans, as well! Oh, and I included the optional cinnamon. I didn’t taste it, per se, but it added a little extra “something.” 😋
Awesome
Yum!! I used olive oil and pumpkin seed butter since that’s what I had on hand and they turned out great. They’re awesome but I highly suggest doubling the recipe.
good to know l. thank you
