These paleo zucchini cookies are a healthy and nutritious treat loaded with sneaky veggies that tastes like dessert but can be served for breakfast! They're gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, paleo and only take 20 minutes to make.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together dry ingredients (almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon). Set aside.
Put zucchini, coconut oil, almond butter and coconut sugar in your blender (Vitamix) or food processor). Blend ingredients together until smooth.
Add egg and vanilla and blend for 15 seconds or until just combined.
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix very well.
Add chocolate chips.
Scoop 2 TBS portions of cookie dough onto cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 10-13 minutes until cookies are slightly browned.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool!

Notes
Ingredient Substitutions
Almond flour. I do not recommend making any substitutions for the almond flour. Especially do not substitute coconut flour, as they are not interchangeable. You could try a 1:1 gluten-free or paleo baking flour if you would like to try it.
Coconut flour. there is no substitute for coconut flour in this recipe!
Coconut oil. Butter or ghee can be used in place of coconut oil.
Coconut sugar. Any granulated sugar works well in place of coconut sugar! Just be sure to choose a variety that complies with your dietary needs.
Chocolate Chips. I used chocolate chunks, but you can use chips of your choosing! To keep these paleo make sure your chocolate is paleo-friendly! I have also used white chocolate chips and Hershey's cinnamon chips (a pantry staple...so yum) both with rave reviews from my family!
Store/freeze
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.They held up very well in the freezer. You can just pull some out of the freezer, heat in the microwave for 20-60 seconds, and have a healthy delicious breakfast you and your kids will love!
