There are different opinions on kitniyot and they sometimes change, from what I can tell now the CRC says Pumpkin Seeds are not kitniyot and are acceptable if raw with no additives for Pesach, but the OU considers them kitniyot. And it seems they both consider sunflower seeds to be kitniyot, so you can use other nuts instead, I will update the recipe to reflect that.
Are pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds kfp – not for kitniyot?
Are sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds kosher for Passover not for kit iy it??? I’ve never seen the for passover
