Apple Cinnamon Zucchini Cookies
I’m all about finding ways to incorporate more vegetables.
As a former pediatric dietitian, I worked with so many families that struggled with incorporating enough vegetables into their child’s meals – as well as their own.
But most people will eat cookies, right? So why not eat your cookie AND your veggies too?
::Drumroll please::
Introducing Apple Cinnamon Zucchini Cookies!
Not only are they low in sugar, they’re also gluten-free and made with real food ingredients like zucchini, coconut oil, unsweetened applesauce, cinnamon and more.
They’re also so simple to make they can be whipped up in less than ten minutes (which is a good thing considering I had to make three batches in the first week for my family!)
Try these Apple Cinnamon Zucchini Cookies today for a delicious treat the whole family will enjoy!
