Description
Soft and chewy chocolate chip zucchini oatmeal cookies with a hint of cinnamon for the perfect treat any time of day.
Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour (120 g)
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (50 g)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, coconut sugar or cane sugar (50 g)
- 1/4 cup plant-based milk (50 mL)
- 1 cup grated zucchini (150 g)
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (60 g)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips (80 g)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (10 mL)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F (170 C) and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, stir together the oat flour, rolled oats, baking soda, cinnamon and brown sugar.
- Finely grate zucchini with a box grater then add the shredded zucchini, peanut butter, milk, vanilla and chocolate chips. Fold together until a dough forms. It might appear dry at first but keep stirring until all the dry ingredients are wetted.
- Place the dough in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes. This will make it easier to form the cookies.
- Roll the dough into tablespoon sized balls and place on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, until light golden brown around the edges.
- Cool at room temperature before handling to allow them to firm up.
Notes
- For a lower-sugar, healthier alternative to chocolate chips, try different add-ins like walnuts, raisins or pecans.
- Let cool completely then store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days, in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to 3 months.
