Chewy oatmeal zucchini cookies. These easy vegan cookies are gluten-free, nut-free and sweetened with fruit. All you need is bananas, dates, zucchini, oil, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and oats.
Looking for a way to use up some fresh zucchini? These vegan oatmeal zucchini cookies are nutritious and perfect for a healthy snack or dessert. They’re packed with zucchini, which adds moisture and nutrients to the cookies. They also have a hint of cinnamon and vanilla. Simply add some chocolate chips or chopped walnuts to customize them to your liking.
The best part about these cookies? You can safely enjoy the cookie dough. I always keep one cookie and eat it as cookie dough while the rest is baking… I highly recommend it.
These cookies are inspired by one of my favorite recipes of all time – The banana bread muffin tops from Oh She Glows. I wanted to create a date and banana sweetened cookie recipe to share with you guys and this is what I came up with. I hope you’ll love it as much as I do!
To make these cookies, you simply need to add all the ingredients to a food processor (except the oats and zucchini). Process the ingredients until smooth, then add part of the oats. Process for a few more seconds to roughly chop the oats, then transfer the mixture to a medium bowl. Stir in the rest of the oats and the shredded zucchini and mix everything together. That’s it! For the zucchini, I like to use the fine grater so that it blends in nicely with the cookie. I then squeeze out most of the moisture using a clean, dry towel.
Bake the cookies at 350°F for 15 to 18 minutes and you’re done!
