  • 2 cups old-fashioned whole rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)

  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the zucchini by lightly blotting it with a clean towel to reduce moisture.

  4. Combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients, then gently fold in the shredded zucchini and chocolate chips.
  5. Chill the dough for at least two hours before preheating your oven to 350°F (177°C).
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto lined baking sheets and bake for 13-14 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
  7. Let cool slightly before transferring to wire racks.
