Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats (135 g)
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (120 g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (115 g)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (100 g)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50 g)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup grated zucchini, squeezed dry (about 1 medium zucchini)
  • 3/4 cup cinnamon chips (135 g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Grate the zucchini finely and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to blend.
  4. Add melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  5. Fold in the squeezed zucchini and cinnamon chips gently until evenly distributed. Avoid over-mixing.
  6. Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookies.
  7. Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are set and slightly golden but centers remain soft.
  8. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  9. Enjoy warm or at room temperature with milk or tea.

Notes

Squeeze out excess moisture from zucchini to prevent soggy cookies. Use room temperature eggs for better mixing. Melted butter creates a chewier texture. Avoid over-mixing to keep cookies tender. If dough is too wet, add more oats or flour; if too dry, add a splash of milk or melted butter. Watch baking time closely to avoid over-baking.
