Anything you can think of that would work in place of the zucchini? Like a shelf stable ingredient maybe? Like more oat flour possibly?

Hmm that is a good question. Not sure really, I haven’t tried substituting the zucchini.

Maybe a different type of squash – yellow, butternut, or spaghetti squash? I’m sure it is part of adding moisture to the recipe and also healthy vitamins. Replacing with flour could cause the recipe to turn out too dry.

I think you are right. Other kinds of squash or maybe even shredded sweet potato might work.

Finely shredded carrot would be a good substitute for zucchini.

These are delicious. I will dice the apple smaller next go around maybe 1/4” instead of 1/2” and I did sprinkle date sugar on top for a sweet hit as I share with my neighbors who donated the zucchini. Lovely recipe. I imagine it
Would work with all grated apple also!?

Question…have you tried this with frozen zucchini? Or would it be too watery?

I think you are right. I think it might be too watery.

I made these for the second time in one week. My husband requested the second batch for when I go out of town this week. I did have a question. He loved the original recipe, but requested I add some molasses to this batch. I am very new to this type of cooking and we are also working to omit all oils, sugar, etc. Is molasses ok or should it be avoided?

A tablespoon of molasses would be ok. Dr Michael Greger says that dates and blackstrap molasses are the safest sweeteners. I’m so glad you are enjoying the cookies!

These are very good- so healthy and substantial as a breakfast cookie.
I didn’t have apple but added pumpkin and sunflower seeds. Next time will up the spices somewhat for more flavor. Should have added some nutmeg.

Jill; these are delicious! I used dried apricots and pecans along with the raisins and apple. Best vegan cookies I’ve ever tasted; sweetness is perfect.

These are AMAZING! The perfect post-workout snack. Delicious and guilt free. I make min versions for the littles – and can feel good about giving them a healthy snack.

DELICIOUS!!! The only change I made was using date syrup instead of whole dates in the blended mix, and the only change I’d make next time is increasing the cinnamon and ginger to a full teaspoon — or even more. I’ll have these on regular rotation because I can use it as a base recipe to sub in whatever squash, carrot, dried fruit or nuts I have on hand at the time. THANKS for another easy, tasty, healthy recipe, Jill!
