Ingredients

  • 1 cup zucchini grated
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups quick oats divided
  • 1 cup wheat flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup walnuts chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • If desired, blend one cup of oats and make oat flour. This isn't necessary, I like it better though.
  • Mix together egg, oil and vanilla. Add brown sugar and mix again.
  • Add blended and non blended quick oats, flour, baking powder and soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg to a mixing bowl. Mix together.
  • Add flour mixture to egg mixture. Mix together until combined.
  • Add chocolate chips and walnuts. Mix.
  • Add zucchini and gently mix together.
  • Drop 1½ inch cookie balls on parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 13-14 minutes.

Notes

  • Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • Cookies will keep for up to three days at room temperature or up to three months in the freezer.
  • You can substitute raisins, dried cranberries, or other kinds of nuts for the walnuts. Or you can add more chocolate chips!
