Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together instant oats, whole wheat or gluten-free flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine melted coconut oil or unsalted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until fully incorporated. Stir in pure maple syrup.
- Pour the dry oat mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until just incorporated. Fold in freshly grated zucchini.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- Drop the chilled cookie dough into rounded scoops onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each scoop to about ⅜-inch thick.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 11-14 minutes until lightly golden.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes
Ensure to pat the grated zucchini dry to avoid extra moisture which can make cookies soggy. Chill the dough for the best texture.
