I think I have found heaven on earth.

This amazing to-die-for heavenly recipe is from Savory Lotus. I made a few adaptations, but 100% credit goes to Katja, thank you so much!

In addition to all the decadent chocolate, using sunflower seeds sounded so intriguing, versus coconut or almond flour. The texture and taste is just perfect. These cookies are gooey and moist with a little crisp to them, just like a brownie, but in a cookie. I'm excited to start experimenting with other baked goods using sunflower seeds too. I'll keep you posted.

Author: Melissa Malinowski, ND

Recipe type: Dessert

Ingredients

1½ cups raw sunflower seeds (preferably soaked (even if for an hour or rinsed) and dehydrated|dried )
½ cup raw honey
½ cup raw cacao powder OR unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ tsp unrefined sea salt
¼ cup good quality dark chocolate chips (This brand is dairy, nut and soy free)
¼ cup almonds
3 eggs whites (save your yolks for smoothies or scrambled eggs!)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Blend sunflower seeds in a food processor for about 1½ minutes, until it resembles coarse flour. Pour into large bowl.
Pour raw honey into bowl with ground sunflower seeds.
Add cacao powder, sea salt, almonds and mini chocolate chips and mix to combine. Set aside.
In another large bowl, using an immersion blender, whip egg whites until foamy but not stiff (about 30 seconds).
Add egg whites to the rest of the ingredients and stir gently to combine.
Spoon batter onto prepared baking sheet in 15 evenly spaced mounds, leaving about 2 inches in between.
I add a little more sea salt to the tops of the cookies.
I made 2.5 inch cookies in the photo, but you can make any size you'd like, just note the time changes below.
Bake for 12 minutes, until cookies are slightly puffed.
Let cool for a minute or eat warm.
Enjoy!

Notes

NOTE: This recipe makes 15, 2.5 in. cookies. If you make larger cookies add ~1 minute to baking time, if you make smaller size than the 2.5 in, be sure to lessen the baking time by 1- 1.5 minutes. And the cookies do not flatten while baking, whatever shape they are in going in, they are coming out.

You must let me know what you think after you take a bite, please comment! Aren't they heavenly?

I began working with Melissa approximately 6 months ago. I was experiencing bladder issues (Interstitial Cyctitis), thyroid issues, thinning hair, allergies, and difficulty taking weight off. I sit for long periods at my job and was watching my parents age not so gracefully. I must admit I was a wee bit skeptical that Melissa could help make me feel better, but it was obvious after only a few visits that she was a big help. I have made changes in my diet as well as supplements and various uses of Essential Oils. I am feeling so much better over all - no more brain fog, no bloating after I eat meals, less back pain, not as much water retention. Happily, I have not taken an allergy pill since I started working with Melissa! I could go on and on! For me, these were little changes, but I have experienced about 20 pounds of weight loss, my hair is looking better than it has in a long time and I am feeling great! We continue to work on the bladder issues and I am confident that this too will continue to improve. It is nice to feel like I am in control of becoming more healthy and aging gracefully! Glad that Melissa was recommended by a friend.

I'm not sure I'll be able to adequately explain how thankful we are to Melissa for all she's done for our daughter! Suzanna had been suffering from painful, itchy red rashes all over her arms and legs for months. After seeing doctor after doctor, dermatologists, allergists, you name it, we were completely fed up with "band-aids" being prescribed. Each doctor would prescribe a pill or a cream which would help for a couple weeks, and then back the rashes would come with a vengeance. I remember breaking down in tears after our first appointment with Melissa because I was so relieved that finally we had found someone to help us figure out WHY this was happening! Thanks to the bio scan feedback, a diet overhaul (the things I have learned and been able to pass on to my whole family are AMAZING!), supplements and homeopathic drops Suzanna is now rash free, she has grown at least 2 inches in 6 months, her anxiety and depression are greatly improved and her skin is glowing. We will be forever grateful for Melissa's knowledge and guidance.

After my daughter turned 1 in November of 2016, I began feeling extremely faint every so often and daily I felt exhausted to the point where I sat and laid down a lot - I simply did not feel well. I had just come off of nursing, and truly my body was in a state of depletion from losing weight so fast after her birth and nursing. I seemed to get through the holidays and then January of 2017 I became very ill with a plethora of different symptoms like continuing to feel extremely faint and often near passing out, very nauseous, anxiety, hardly able to walk because I was so weak and faint, extreme brain fog, night tremors, pounding heart in the night and every time I would have bowel movements or heightened emotions the symptoms would worsen. It was all so intense to the point where I couldn’t watch my 2 and 3 year old and needed help 24/7 for almost 10 months. Like, how are we supposed to plan for these kind of changed plans in life? I became dependent on my family and clung to Jesus like never before to get through such a difficult trial, and I am forever grateful for them!! I went to my doctor numerous times and to the emergency room three times. After a plethora of testings (Multiple blood tests, abdominal CT scan, X-ray, HIDA scan (gallbladder), colonoscopy, endoscopy, stool test) for three straight months, and a big chunk of money later, the doctors continued to tell me that I was normal and every test showed that I was healthy and normal. It actually became the joke in my family that “I was normal”. Guys, if you’re not feeling well, that is not normal. And if you’ve sought your doctor and are not getting answers, then I am telling you that a bio feedback scan along with Melissa Malinowski’s experience and passion for people to be in full health is your answer! She was an answer to my family and my prayers. I began my appointments with her in June of 2017 and right away I began to finally see why I was so ill each visit or Bio feedback scan. The onion continued to peel. And even though it has been a long road to recovery, because of the chronic illness, as of today, March 2018, I am almost back to my normal, even better, energetic self. I give God all the glory for my renewed health and I am so thankful how He orchestrated for me to find out about Melissa’s practice through a client of my mom’s at her salon. It was so random, but so the Lord. Between a healthy diet, supplements, homeopathic drops, some at-home techniques, and the amazing Bio feedback scans -all through Melissa’s expertise, it has all given my life back and I couldn’t be more grateful. And most important, my kids have their momma back!

I don't know where to begin with my success so far. I struggled with two main issues before seeking nutritional advise from Melissa. 1) Severe mood swings that included depression, short temper and anxiety. 2) Severe sleep disorder. I was lucky to sleep 3 hours at night and that was after taking over the counter and prescribed sleeping aids. I've been working with Melissa for roughly 10 weeks so far and the results are fantastic. I truly believe she is one of very few that understands the human body on a completely different level. If you are on the fence about contacting her, I suggest you just do it. If you trust her and follow her advice, you will not be disappointed!

I have known Melissa for over 20 years. She has always had a tenacity and balance that has inspired me. She is smart, passionate about health/wellness and a compassionate soul. When I have a health/nutrition question, she is my go-to girl. I know she does the research and gives me the truth! I trust her.

After previously working with 3 other naturopaths and seeing very little progress I decided to give Melissa a chance. In as little as 3 weeks the tinnitus I had in my ears for over a year was gone. In time I was also able to remove all severe symptoms I had from toxic mold exposure that I had ongoing for almost 3 years. She has helped me greatly with candida, tinnitus, digestive issues, and also helped with my best friend (my yellow lab). If you want a structured plan on how to find the root cause of your health problem and how to fix it step by step. Then you should make the decision to invest in your health and work with Melissa.
