Zucchini Monster Cookies are a super delicious way to use up extra zucchini from the garden! You would never know these are made with zucchini and no butter!!
Ingredients

- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups peanut butter (I used crunchy but you can use creamy if you prefer)
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 4 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cup M&M's
Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Preheat oven to 350 In a large mixing bowl, beat together the zucchini, sugars, and peanut butter until well blended. Add eggs, salt, and vanilla and mix well. Mix in soda, oats, and flour until combined. Stir in chips, and M&M's. | |
| Step 2 | |
| Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto a silicone baking mat or parchment paper lined cookie sheet about 2" apart. Bake 9-11 minutes or until golden. Let set on cookie sheet about 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Once completely cooled, store in an air tight container. | |

I made these! I thought at first the flour measurement might not be right because they were not holding together that well, but they ended up good. I would probably not add as many chocolate chips next time but that is my preference. I was hoping to find red and green m&ms but couldn’t. I am not telling my kids what is in these until they love them. What a great use for zucchini from my freezer. Will make these again.

I’ve always wondered what would happened if Zucchini met with cookies! Great use of more vegetables!

Your 5 year-old rocks. My oldest (age 6) would never even try them!
But he’d be missing out, because these look amazing!

You are very brave letting the kids see that zucchini was going in. I would have to hide that from them and then maybe, just maybe, tell them after the fact! Great looking recipe!

Wow, I bet this is a way I can even get my little dude to eat zucchini. LOVE!

I have so much zucchini already from my garden–can’t wait to make these!

Those look delicious! I think I’d have to make a couple dozen batches of these cookies to make a dent in our zucchini haul this year…but it would be worth it for sure 🙂 Pinned!
