These soft and chewy zucchini oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are the perfect blend of health and indulgence. A great way to sneak veggies into a delicious treat that everyone will love!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup zucchini, shredded and squeezed dry
  • 1 ½ cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. Shred 1 cup of zucchini and squeeze out as much water as possible using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and smooth (about 2-3 minutes).
  5. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  6. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in the shredded zucchini and chocolate chips using a rubber spatula.
  8. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto your prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will look slightly underdone—that’s perfect!
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Make sure to squeeze out all the moisture from the zucchini to prevent soggy cookies. For a crunchier texture, bake for an extra 2 minutes. Customize with add-ins like nuts or dried fruit.
