Ingredients
- 1/2 cup grated zucchini
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (xylitol-free)
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Steps
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Squeeze out any extra moisture from the zucchini using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
- In a medium bowl, combine grated zucchini, peanut butter, and egg until smooth.
- Stir in ginger and oat flour until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
- Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface or between two layers of parchment paper to about ¼ inch thick.
- Cut into shapes with a cookie cutter or slice into small squares with a knife.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the treats are firm and lightly golden. For crunchier treats, bake a little longer.
