Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats gluten free if needed
- 1/2 cup peanut butter Can sub for any nut or seed butter of choice
- 1 1/4 cups banana mashed approximately 2 1/2 large banans
- 1/4 cup zucchini shredded
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Mix Ingredients. In a large bowl, combine oats, peanut butter, mashed banana, shredded zucchini (squeeze out excess moisture), and your favorite mix-ins.
- Shape & Bake. Scoop dough onto the baking sheet, flatten slightly, and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden on the edges.
- Cool & Enjoy. Let cookies cool on a wire rack before digging in!
Notes
- Squeeze out excess moisture from the zucchini to prevent overly soft cookies.
- No bananas? Use 1 ¼ cups of unsweetened applesauce instead.
- Customize your cookies by adding nuts, raisins, or coconut flakes.
- Avoid overbaking. Cookies may feel soft straight out of the oven but will firm up as they cool.
