I was wondering if anyone knows if you can substitute Sunbutter in place of peanut butter in recipes. My son has a peanut / tree nut allergy & I was hoping to make cookies for the holidays (for example, the Peanut Butter Blossoms with the Hershey's Kiss in the center). Thank you so much for your help. Have a Happy Holiday Season!!

What can I do next?

I just googled SunButter and found this advice as well as tons of recipes... The oatmeal sunbutter cookies sound great.

When using your own recipe that contains baking soda or baking powder, in combination with SunButter®, you may notice a discoloration in your baked goods.

This is not a problem! Simply reduce your baking soda or baking powder or add lemon juice to balance the ph factor and maintain proper color.

This discoloration is the result of sunflower seeds being rich in Chlorogenic acid which is found naturally in all plants. Most plants only have Chlorogenic acid in the stems and leaves, but sunflower also has it in the seeds. This is one of the reasons sunflower is so good for you.

I'm not 100%, but a girl I work with loves the stuff for her peanut-allergy daughter. I think I remember her saying something about making cookies with it, but I'm not sure. I'll have to ask her and I'll update.

Those cookies are really good when made with sugar cookie dough too. I have a friend who just does not like pb so we gave that one a try a few years ago. Good luck!

I am not sure about sunbutter. But someone brought those blossom cookies with either sugar cookie or maybe butter cookie inplace of the peanut butter. It was really very good!! Maybe it was sugar since the post before recommends sugar. It's worth a try!
