Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet, stirring until almost combined. Add shredded zucchini and fold into the dough until completely combined.
1 cup shredded zucchini
Add oats and chocolate and stir until evenly distributed.
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats, 2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Cover dough with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator. Chill for 30 minutes before proceeding. While dough chills, preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scoop dough by rounded 1 ½ Tablespoon-sized scoops and drop on prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies at least 2” apart. Bake in 350F (175C) preheated oven for 12-13 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet before enjoying.

Notes
Zucchini
No need to peel the zucchini before shredding. To shred mine, I use the grater blade on my food processor. I find this doesn’t get it quite as fine as I like so I’ll then very briefly pulse once or twice with my standard blade. Do not make the zucchini too fine/pulpy or the cookies may taste like zucchini and be too wet.
To blot zucchini
After shredding, spread the zucchini in an even layer and blot with paper towels until you’ve removed excess moisture from the zucchini.
Storing
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
