Serves: makes 1 9x13" pan
 
Ingredients
  • 4 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 cups grated zucchini
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup coconut oil, soft or melted
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ½ cup applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips
Preparation Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350˚.
  2. Get out a 9x13" pan and cut a piece of parchment large enough to fit in the pan.
  3. In a large mixing bowl combine the oats, zucchini, cinnamon and salt.
  4. In another medium mixing bowl, combine the eggs, coconut oil, milk, honey, applesauce and vanilla.
  5. Pour wet ingredients into the zucchini mixture and mix until combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Place the parchment paper over the pan and carefully dump the zucchini mixture into the center. As you do so the parchment will fall into the pan, once all the zucchini is on the parchment spread it around to the edges.
  8. Bake until set, about 25 minutes.
  9. Cool in the pan about 20 minutes before serving. They are delicious right out of the oven but are also great cold the next day.
  10. Once cool enough, remove from the pan by lifting the parchment out and then slice into bars. Store in the fridge or freezer.
