Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (128g) natural drippy peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1 large egg, slightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ⅓ cups (320g) unsweetened vanilla almond milk (any milk will work)
  • 1 ½ cups (143g) old fashioned rolled oats, gluten free if desired
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • ¼ cup (45g) mini chocolate chips

  3. Fold in the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until evenly incorporated.
  4. Gently fold in the shredded zucchini and ¼ cup of mini chocolate chips.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of mini chocolate chips on top.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until set and lightly golden brown.
