Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, grated (about 2 cups)

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Zucchini: Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture. This ensures the cookies are not too wet.

      Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

        Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the brown sugar and granulated sugar with the vegetable oil until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, whisking until fully incorporated.

          Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Then fold in the grated zucchini, chocolate chips, and nuts, if using.

            Scoop the Dough: Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges and set in the center.

                Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
