Description

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour or white whole wheat flour
• 1 cup old-fashoned rolled oats
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup mashed ripe banana (from about 2 medium bananas)
• 1 cup shredded zucchini, squeezed of excess moisture with a paper towel*
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (can also use honey if not vegan)
• 1/4 cup melted and cooled coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips, vegan if desired
• Optional: 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
• Optional: 1 tablespoon of chia seeds

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl whisk together flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
• Before you mix your wet ingredients, make sure you have squeezed your shredded zucchini of excess moisture with a paper towel or cheesecloth. THIS IS IMPORTANT!
• In a separate large bowl, mix together mashed banana, shredded zucchini, maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla extract until well combined. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips. The dough will seem wet and sticky, but thats okay -- dont worry!
• Use 1/4 cup to measure out dough and drop on baking sheet, placing cookie dough 2 inches apart from one another. Slightly flatten with the palm of your hand. Bake for 13-16 minutes or until cookies are golden brown on the edges. Allow to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Makes 14 cookies.
