Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp nutmeg
• 1 cup brown sugar
• ½ cup vegan chocolate chips
• 1 ripe banana – mashed
• ½ cup soymilk
• 2 tsp vanilla
• ¼ cup coconut or canola oil (can substitute for applesauce)
• ⅓ cup peanut butter
• 1 cup grated zucchini (don’t squeeze water out)
• 1 Tbsp ground flax or chia seeds mixed with 4 TBL water

Instructions

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
• Make your flax egg (mix 1 TBL ground flax with 4 TBL water)
• Mix together all dry ingredients in a bowl
• Mix together all wet ingredients in a separate bowl
• Add your chocolate chips to wet ingredients last
• Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients

Notes

You can substitute ½ cup of applesauce for the oil

Make sure to let the batter sit for 5 minutes to allow the zucchini to release water into the mixture. It will feel a bit dry until you let it sit. This will make it easier for you to stir without over-mixing.

If you use chia seeds, make sure to grind them up like ground flax seeds. The texture is better and the nutrients from the chia seeds are better absorbed.
