Cat Morrow of Legacy Acres shared this recipe because no one says no to cookies. No zucchini? Try pumpkin or butternut squash or even carrots! Add your favorite nuts and/or seeds for protein.
Batter must rest 30 minutes before baking.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup melted butter

  • 2/3 cup turbinado or raw sugar

  • 1 egg

  • 1 cup zucchini shredded and strained thoroughly

  • 1 1/4 cup Maine Grains Organic Spelt Flour

  • 2 tsp cinnamon

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

  • 1 1/4 cup Maine Grains Organic Rolled Oats (can sub up to 3/4 cups chopped nuts for oats)

  • orange zest – optional

  • heaping cup of chocolate chips

Directions

  • In a large bowl beat together the butter, sugar and egg until mostly smooth.
  • Add everything else except the oats/nuts and choc chips – stir to combine.
  • Add the chocolate chips and oats and stir to combine.
  • Allow the batter to rest for 30 minutes before baking. This helps the oats to absorb any extra zucchini/veg juice.
  • Preheat oven to 425ºF – convection oven works great.
  • Onto an un-greased cookie sheet, dollop heaping tablespoons of dough (about 1½ tbsp each).
  • Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown.
