These Zucchini Chocolate Chip Cookies are a scrumptious 100 calorie treat! Made gluten free with oats, this soft and chewy cookie is packed with rich chocolate and zucchini you can’t even taste. Gluten Free + Low Calorie
If you’re looking for a yummy cookie recipe to make, then you came to the right place today! These Zucchini Chocolate Chip Cookies are amazing! They’re a spin off of my Zucchini Chocolate Oatmeal Bites I shared with you last month. Of course, you cannot even taste the zucchini. That’s what I love about baking with it. You can sneak in it and get more veggies without even trying. A great way to get yourself and the kiddos to eat more of them!
Zucchini or any squash for that matter is great to bake with because it adds so much moisture to the batter which is what makes these Zucchini Chocolate Chip Cookies thick, chewy and creamy! Not to mention they’re nutritious too. Oh yeah, did I mention they’re 100 calories? Well, technically 104 calories but close enough! That just means you can eat multiple without fearing the bulge of the belly.
I brought a batch of these to the pool for the other swim instructors to try and they loved them! They’re all high school age or recently graduated. I’m like one of 3 instructors who’s middle-aged. OMG…I can’t believe I’m middle-aged! I just realized this or maybe I’ve been avoiding it. I may need a moment to recover from this reality attack.
The point is if I can convince a bunch of teenagers that these Zucchini Chocolate Chip Cookies are good, then I can turn you into a believer too! One of these days if I ever open that dream cafe these cookies will be on the menu along with this, this and this. Maybe it will be more of a bakery than a cafe? Oh boy, just another thing to figure out!
Grab the kids and have fun whipping up a batch of these easy peasy, gluten free and low calorie Zucchini Chocolate Chip Cookies. A scrumptious treat that’s perfect for summertime baking and family fun!
