Ingredients
  

1 cup grated zucchini (excess moisture squeezed out)

1/2 cup coconut oil, melted

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup almond flour

1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or a gluten-free blend)

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Zucchini: Grate the zucchini using a box grater and squeeze it in a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to remove excess moisture. Set aside.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well blended.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).

          Blend Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.

            Fold in the Zucchini and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the grated zucchini and dairy-free chocolate chips. If you are using nuts, fold them in as well.

              Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop heaping spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look just set.

                  Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, serve your delicious Dairy-Free Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cookies with a glass of almond milk or your favorite dairy-free beverage!
