Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas mashed (1 ¼ cup mashed)
- ⅓ cup natural peanut butter smooth or crunchy
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 cups shredded zucchini approx. 1 medium zucchini (squeeze to remove excess moisture)
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats gluten-free if preferred
- ¼ cup hemp hearts
- ¼ cup flax seeds or ground flax seeds
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl. Then add the peanut butter and maple syrup and mix well. Next, add the dry ingredients and mix until combined. The batter will be thick.
- Stir in the shredded zucchini to the same bowl and set aside to let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350℉/176℃ and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Then scoop the batter onto your tray and shape and flatten the cookies, as they won't spread much in the oven.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown. Then remove them from the oven, and let them cool for 5-10 minutes to set.

Notes
- For picky eaters, peel the zucchini before shredding it to hide its bright green skin.
- Squeeze the shredded zucchini over a bowl or your kitchen sink before adding to your batter.
- The batter will be thick but the zucchini will add moisture to the cookies.
- For nut-free use soy butter or sunflower butter instead of peanut butter.
- Leftover cookies will keep at room temperature for 2 days, or refrigerated for up to 6 days. Freeze them airtight for up to 3 months AFTER cooling to room temperature first.
