So, I made this recipe up all by myself! I feel so proud. ;) I would not consider this to be your one treat of the day, because the only sweetner in it is maple syrup, and not much of that! I put maple syrup in my oatmeal, and I don't count that as my treat. So, consider these breakfast cookies, if you don't add the chocolate chips. And you're getting fruits and veggies while you're at it!
2 C Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 C White Flour (you could make these totally whole wheat if you like)
1 C quick oats or regular oats that have been pulsed a few times
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 small zucchini, finely shredded, with some of the moisture squeezed out
1/2 C mashed banana (one large usually does the trick, make sure it's very ripe!)
1/2 C maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 C chocolate chips (optional)
Mix wet ingredients in one bowl and dry in another. Add wet to dry and mix well. Put on cookie sheet about 2 tbsp worth for each cookie. Bake at 350 for 13 minutes. Enjoy!
I've made these with chocolate chips and without, and they're fabulous both ways.
Ooo! I'm definitely trying this one out! I need fresh fruits and veggies anyway, might as well pick up some zucchini while I'm at it!
