I just learned something interesting while making this gluten free breakfast cookie – when you bake sunflower butter it turns green. Yep – I should probably be holding this recipe for St. Patrick’s Day, but I thought it was too funny to not share this with you right now.
If you’re not into green food, and don’t want green cookies, feel free to substitute peanut butter in for the sunflower butter. But in my opinion they wont be as much fun!

1 cup sunflower butter

Mix dry ingredients together: gluten free flour, gluten free oats, salt, cinnamon, baking soda
Blend into liquid mixture
Stir in raisins
Drop by spoonfuls onto greased baking sheets
Slightly flatten cookies before putting pans in oven
Bake 18-20 minutes
Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute before transferring cookies to cooling rack
Store in an airtight container
