I honestly don’t really know the exact sandwich Elvis really loved, but I’m pretty sure it was these flavors. If it wasn’t, it should have been.
Moving on. Welp. That wasn’t exactly fun to watch last night. That’s really all I have to say about that since I don’t really like football anyways.
Sorry this isn’t a 5 ingredient recipe. It’s tough to move houses and cook at the same time. But I’ll get you one this week. Don’t worry buttercup.
But anyways, moving is done. If you didn’t hear me talk about it for the past month, you sure missed out. I’ll give you a recap, I don’t want you to feel in the dark. I found this apartment about a month ago and even though I didn’t need to move out of my house until May, I decided it was too perfect to say no to. So I hounded the landlord with emails and calls and got my deposit check in as soon as the bank opened. I didn’t give him the opportunity to say no. Well, since I got the place starting in February, I decided I shouldn’t waste more money not living in it. So I’ve moved from the Wash Park area of Denver to City Park. I like parks.
Moving is probably one of the least fun things. Ever. You always scrape some kind of furniture. You usually fall at least once (especially if you’re moving in the snow like I did). And you find out all the money you have to spend on refilling groceries, decorating the place, and figure out everything you’re missing since you don’t have roommates anymore. A plunger? Ah crap. Hi Home Depot. But in the end, it’s totally worth it. Especially if you have lovely friends who are selfless enough to help you move. You know those are good people because honestly, nobody actually likes helping with that.
So I’m living the uptown city life now. Lots more shouting and car noise, but I’m into it. Now I have a much larger kitchen so I actually enjoy being in it AND I have an office AND I have a huge balcony to take food pictures on. Pretty much, I got this new place so I could make better food and blogs for you. I’m so selfless.
That’s a total lie.

Would it be completely horrible if I used 1 cup of actual peanut butter? I love peanut butter a lot more than sunflower butter.
Hell no! Do it up :):)
Hi! I think this cookies look amazing, I´m definitely trying this! I really don’t like sunflower seeds or peanut butter, do you think it would be ok if I just use normal butter? or what do you suggest? Thanks!
you could use a different nut butter instead!
Yummy!! How do you keep them from turning green when you use the sunflower seed butter?? Whenever I cook with it my stuff turns green. Something about a reaction with the baking soda I think? But these look perfect!
Yes it’s the reaction with the baking soda, but I’ve only once ever had that issue. These cookies never changed color. I have pretty good luck with that for some reason
OMG mine started turning green, too! But only at the end of the batch. The first few cookie sheets were fine, but the stuff that was left in the bowl until the last round turned green, and produced green cookies! Maybe it’s just the speed with which you get them into the oven after you mix in the baking soda?
Come to think of it, I noticed the edges of the bowl turning green first, so it probably is an oxidation thing.
Speeeeeed cookies!!! 😛
Bananas, bacon, chocolate OH MY! #pinning
oh my this sounds great! think plantains would work and maybe tahin? as we don’t have sunflower butter
didn’t watch much of the game, was not to impress haha
OMG! they are absolutely delicious, I made them following the recipe exactly and, even when I don’t really like a lot sunflower butter, These cookies have an amazing taste, I am having a hard time waiting for them to cool, since I put them on molds hahaha, my husband and I already ate 3, but I’ll wait for the others so I can take a little picture, hahaha , thank you 🙂 great recipe and soo soo easy.
I just read a comment above and I thought it was something I did for my batter to turn green. Learn something new everyday 🙂
When I made these last night they were way runny and reminded me of a pancake/cookie hybrid! So I was thinking of maybe trying this batter out for pancakes? What do you think?
They were still delicious btw and I totally ate 3 of them last night….
These look delicious!! I’m going to try it ASAP! 🙂 Question- Do you need to roll and flatten the dough before placing in oven? When I make paleo cookies they usually don’t turn out too well, I was wondering if it was because I did/didn’t roll and flatten them. Thanks! I’ll leave a review when I make them 🙂
no. it’ll be a slightly wet dough so they will spread a little bit
I made these and all I can say is that they were AMAZING! One of the best paleo cookies that I have tried making!! Perfect taste, and texture! They spread out a lot, so they get HUGE in size! They are like the size of a face! Honestly tastes like peanut butter- but it isn’t! So good!
I made these and love them! I used peanut butter(its what I had in the house) Make sure they cool off enough as they fall apart easy, but so good!
Yum those look delish!
