In case you haven't noticed, I like food and blogs. So, I read a lot of cooking blogs. Well, The Whole Life Nutrition Kitchen, is one of them. Today, I've taken the opportunity to try about three of their recipes. So far so good. Of the three, I decided I want to share the Sunflower Cookies recipe. Please visit the link to see their recipe. I've included what I did below...very few changes other than leaving out the raisins...not so much of a fan. This cookies are ridiculously easy...the most involved part being grinding the sunflower seeds! Andrew gave them a "They're okay," which is pretty good...he doesn't really say something is great unless it's his favorite food of all time.
Sunflower Cookies (from The Whole Life Nutrition Kitchen)
1 c raw sunflower seeds, ground into a flour - I used a coffee grinder I keep around for this type of thing
1 c brown rice flour
1/4 c tapioca flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 c melted coconut oil
1/3 c maple syrup, grade B
2 T applesauce
1 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 350.
Grind the sunflower seeds and mix with the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix the wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until all of the dry ingredients have been incorporated.
Roll into 1-inch balls and place on greased cookie sheet. Flatten with a greased glass. Bake in the oven for approx. 13 minutes. Cool on pan. Enjoy!

I love Whole Life Nutrition, too. They have fabulous recipes. I think that when trying new flours you really have to be open - my husband and I have different tastes. Sometimes he loves what I make, other times he isn't crazy about it. It's neat to see that you have confidence in your cooking, too.
Thanks for linking to Slightly Indulgent Mondays!
