Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat.
- Grate your zucchini and weigh out 120g (a little less than 1 cup semi-packed). Squeeze out some of the moisture, it should be about 90-100g depending on the water content of your zucchini.
- In a large bowl, mash the banana and then add in the peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla and zucchini and mix until well combined. Add in that oat flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon salt and mix until a thick sticky dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.
