Description

Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, Gluten Free Option

Zucchini is the secret ingredient that makes all your baked goods the perfect moist texture, and a little bit healthier!  Combined with the protein from collagen peptides these apple spice collagen cookies are a perfect healthy snack that tastes like an indulgent treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce
  • 1/2 cup gluten free oats
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (or gluten free all purpose)
  • 1 scoop vanilla collagen (I used Ancient Nutrition)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 chocolate bar (I used a Lily’s dark chocolate) + additional chocolate chips if desired
  • Optional: sweetener of choice (can add some stevia, coconut sugar, or cane sugar)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F.
  2. Grate your zucchini.  The smaller grater the better.  (no need to pat dry).
  3. Combine your apple sauce, egg, and vanilla in the bowl with your zucchini.
  4. In another bowl, combine your flour, collagen, spices, sweetener if adding, and baking soda.
  5. Add your dry ingredients into your wet, and then add in oats.
  6. Crush your chocolate bar into small pieces, and fold into batter (can also add extra chocolate chips if you want more chocolate 🙂 )
  7. Using a cookie scooper, scoop batter onto a large cookie sheet lined with parchment paper (I made 24 cookies)
  8. Bake for 15-17 minutes until edges are golden brown.

Notes

I think these are great without any sweetener but if you want a sweeter cookie you can add some!

If using gluten free all purpose flour you can do a 1 for 1 swap.
