Zucchini Breakfast Cookies

These zucchini breakfast cookies are quick, simple, and healthy. They’re awesome for busy mornings or snacking on the go. 

I’ve had these zucchini breakfast cookies stashed away in my head for a looooong time. Too long. 😬 I had the idea for them last summer – as in a year ago – but I finally got around to testing them in September. Don’t judge me. I’ve realized that I always procrastinate when it comes to testing baked recipes. Which is probably because I don’t love baking? 😂😂😂

So when I do bake anything, I try to make the recipe as easy as is humanly possible. As in, we’re using 2 bowls, 1 spoon, and a grater for these breakfast cookies. The prep involves grating a zucchini, whipping up a flax egg, and mixing it all together. Then we bake and we snack!

And voila! We have yummy breakfast cookies with a veggie snuck into the mix. You don’t even taste the zucchini, in my opinion – it just adds a nice moist texture to the cookies.  These are perfect for busy mornings or snacking throughout the day. You can also make a double batch and freeze some for later.

Make these zucchini breakfast cookies ASAP and be sure to let us know what you think. We love seeing your creations on Instagram so we can share on our stories!
