INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Make the sunflower butter. Roast the sunflower seeds in the oven at 350°F (fan assisted) for 8 min. Let to cool till room temperature.
  2. Blend them in a high-speed processor/blender. It’s best to do so at intervals so the seeds ( and machine) don’t overheat. Taking a break every 2-3 min. For a smooth sunflower seed butter, blend for about 15 min.
  3. Once the homemade sunflower seed butter is ready, transfer it to an airtight glass container.
  4. For the cookies in a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in oats, pumpkin, and sunflower seeds, and set aside.
  5. In a medium bowl, beat together oil, sunflower butter, coconut sugar, milk, and chia seed until smooth. Add to the flour mixture, half at a time.
  6. Spoon about a tablespoon of dough on the cookie sheet with parchment paper, spacing about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly.
  7. Bake for 12 to 14 min, until the edges just begin to brown. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for about 5 min before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
