Gluten free, vegan (yet delicious) Zucchini cookies

October 8, 2014 By //  by Whitney Young, ND

With zucchini in abundance this time of year, here is another recipe to try out.

Chewy and delicious!
Chewy and delicious!

This makes A LOT of cookies because when there is too much zucchini you need recipes that call for a lot of zucchini.  They are chewy, moist, and filling.  I have served them to many gluten-eating people (including children) and they ask for another.  That says they are GOOOOD

Zuc cookie ingredients
Oats, zucchini, buckwheat flour, oh yeah!
Zuc cookie batter
It’s a thick batter

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups each: sorghum flour and starch of choice (arrowroot, tapioca, potato)
  • 1 cup buckwheat flour (light or dark)
  • 2 tsp each: xanthum gum and baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 4 cups rolled oats
  • 2 cups quick cook oats (helps with the chewy factor)
  • 1 cup olive oil (you could do coconut oil if you prefer or butter for non vegans)
  • 4 tsp egg replacer whisked into 8 Tbsp warm water (or 4 eggs)
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla
  • 3 cups shredded zucchini (I leave peel on and I squeeze the liquid out through a tea towel or cheese cloth)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup raisins

What to do:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F
  • Line 4 cookie sheets with parchment paper
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, starches, xanthum gum, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda.
  • Stir in the oats
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the egg replacer and water.  Add the olive oil, vanilla, and sugar.  Mix in the zucchini.
  • Add wet ingredients to the dry and combine.
  • Mix in the chips and raisins.
  • Using a tablespoon, drop batter onto parchment paper.  These cookies don’t spread a whole lot so you can fit quite a few on one sheet.
  • Bake in the centre of a hot oven for about 15 minutes (the bottoms and edges will start to brown)
  • This makes 5-6 dozen cookies. They freeze very well for future enjoyment.

It’s hard to find a positive spin on the last co It’s hard to find a positive spin on the last couple weeks of events in Ontario. 

Last week I was struggling. I didn’t realize how hard I was struggling. This is hard. 

I know I’m not alone. Every patient I talk to is affected by this pandemic. You are affected.

So here, here’s one positive thing.

Spring is here. Being outside makes humans feel better. Fresh air. Opening up the windows. Sitting on a balcony. Gardening in your back yard. Taking your shoes off and walking in the grass. It’s called nature cure.

Notice trees, flowers, the buds on the hedges. 

These are simple things you can do. 

They can’t take that away from us.

Acupuncture is an ancient healing art used for a v Acupuncture is an ancient healing art used for a variety of conditions and situations in our modern world. It’s quite common for people to notice benefits like reduction of muscle pain. 

At our clinic I use acupuncture primarily for hormone regulation, infertility, and during pregnancies. 

There are acupuncture points on the body that have traditionally been used to help prepare for labour. In a recent journal review acupuncture was found to be of some benefit in improving cervical maturity.  I already knew this and have had lots of success. 

So, yes, it is a thing.
