Scale

Cookie Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (100g) instant oats (gluten free if necessary and measured like this)
  • ¾ cup (90g) whole wheat flour or gluten free* flour (measured like this)
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp (28g) coconut oil or unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120mL) pure maple syrup
  • 1 cup (90g) freshly grated zucchini, patted dry (see Notes!)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut oil or butter, egg, and vanilla until thoroughly combined. Stir in the maple syrup. Add in the oat mixture, and stir until just incorporated. Fold in the zucchini. Chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes.
  2. Bake the Cookies: Preheat the oven to 325°F, and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Using a spoon and spatula, drop the cookie dough into 15 rounded scoops onto the prepared sheet. Flatten to ⅜”-thick using a spatula. Bake at 325°F for 11-14 minutes. Cool on the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.

Notes

  • Make sure to pat the grated zucchini dry to remove excess moisture.
