Spicy Zucchini Oatmeal Cookies
These cookies are the perfect blend of spice and sweetness, and they will blow your mind! Let’s dive into the deliciousness!
Ingredients
Before we get to baking, gather up the following ingredients:
- 1 cup grated zucchini (squeeze out excess moisture, please!)
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (because, why not?)
- 1/4 cup raisins (if you’re feeling adventurous)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Now that we’ve got everything together, let’s get this cookie party started!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Time to warm things up!
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, rolled oats, brown sugar, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix it up like you mean it!
- In another bowl, whisk together the oil and vanilla extract. Pour this delightful mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is combined.
- If you opt for chocolate chips and raisins (which you should), fold those into the dough now. Yum!
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the sheet, making sure to leave some space in between. Cookies need their personal space too!
- Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown. The aroma wafting through your home will be irresistible.
- Once they’re baked, let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before giving in to temptation. Enjoy your delicious Spicy Zucchini Oatmeal Cookies!
These cookies are not just a treat; they’re an experience! Enjoy them with a cup of coffee, share with friends (or don’t; we won’t judge), and marvel at how you just transformed zucchini into a sweet delight. Happy baking!
