Equipment

Ingredients

  • ¾ medium zucchini finely grated
  • ½ carrot finely grated
  • 1 cup spinach finely diced
  • ⅓ cup applesauce
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp ground flax seeds mixed with 2 tbsp water to create a "flax egg"
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate chips vegan

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients: zucchini, carrot, spinach, apple sauce, flax egg and maple syrup. In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, oats, salt and baking soda. Mix the wet with the dry until you have a batter with consistent texture all the way through. Carefully fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, create 8-10 even cookies on your baking sheet. These will not spread far, so make sure you press them down into a flat cookie shape before placing the baking sheet in the oven. 
  • Bake for 12 minutes, until your cookies are slightly firm. Remove from the oven, and allow to set for at least 10 minutes before eating.
