Zucchini Cookies
With their chewy, soft texture and comforting blend of spices, these cookies are perfect as an evening treat or a delightful morning breakfast.
2 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or more oats)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter, ghee, or coconut oil, melted and cooled
2 eggs
Splash of vanilla extract
1 cup maple syrup
2 cups grated zucchini (squeezed of liquids and packed)
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Add wet ingredients to a mixing bowl and mix, then add dry ingredients and mix until combined.
Drop cookie dough onto pan and bake for 11-15 minutes or until the center is cooked through and edges are slightly browned. Cool completely.
Notes: Our preferred variation is using all-purpose flour or 1:1 gluten free all-purpose flour (King Arthur), and butter. Optional: drizzle with melted chocolate, peanut butter, or plain yogurt to serve. I use about three medium zucchinis to reach this measurement.
