If you made my DIY sunflower butter, which I hope you did because it is super yummy, you might have a bit leftover in a tub in your fridge right now. Like I did. Well I decided to test out my sun butter for cookies. Because that was one of my main reasons for making nut-free butter - to make sure sun butter could easily take the place of peanut or almond butter in cookies for kids who might be allergic.

Well, I was thrilled when these vegan Sunny Blues Breakfast Cookies turned out to be dee-li-she-oh-so. Like really good guys. Rich from all the sun butter, creamy and textured from the banana and oats and super nutty and fluffy. Like a muffin top. Gluten-free too! Plus they have plump and juicy blueberries for added nutrition and maximum yum factor. Give these a try and have cookies for brekky!..
