Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 1 banana, mashed
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 3 tbsp maple syrup (or honey)
• 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter (or nut butter of choice)
• 1/2 cup nut milk (I like cashew or almond)
• 1 small zucchini (grated and squeezed of excess moisture)
• 1 cup rolled oatmeal
• 1 1/2 cup oat flour
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking powder
• pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips

---

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a 9×9 pan with parchment paper (or spray with non-stick spray) and set aside.
2. In a medium size bowl whisk together the banana, egg, vanilla, maple syrup, peanut butter, nut milk, and zucchini until smooth.
3. In a large bowl combine the oatmeal, oat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
5. Pour the batter into the baking pan, sprinkle with additional chocolate chips (optional), and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool, slice, and enjoy!

Notes

1. You can easily make your own oat flour by blending rolled oats in a food processor or blender.
2. Zucchini contains a large amount of liquid so remember to squeeze out as much liquid as you can!
