Zucchini Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
These might look a little scary with the green poking out of the cookies, BUT no joke, you get the taste of a normal yummy oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, BUT with the nutrition of delicious zucchini! These were such a wonderful surprise with how good they turned out :)

HAPPY BAKING!
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup coconut oil (softened)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 medium zucchinis (shredded)
- 1 cup quick oats
- 3/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl whisk together flours, cinnamon, baking soda and salt, set aside.
- In the bowl, whip together (with an electric mixer) coconut oil, granulated sugar and brown sugar until creamy. Mix in egg and vanilla extract, then fold in shredded zucchini.
- With mixer set on low speed, slowly add in flour mixture. Stir in oats, walnuts and chocolate chips with a spatula.
- Shape dough into balls, 2 Tbsp each, then transfer to a lightly greased baking sheet (I rubbed a tiny bit of coconut oil on them), spacing cookies 2-inches apart. Bake in preheated oven for about 12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Cool on baking sheet 2 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
THEN, eat up! :)
