Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, grated

1 cup almond flour

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar for a healthier option)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 cup chocolate chips (or nuts of your choice)

1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional)

Toppings for pizza (e.g., sliced strawberries, bananas, drizzled honey, nut butters)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zucchini: Start by grating the zucchinis. Place them in a clean kitchen towel or cheese cloth and squeeze out excess moisture. Set aside.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk together until fully combined.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

        Combine Mixtures: Add the grated zucchini into the wet ingredients and mix until well combined. Then, pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips and shredded coconut (if using).

          Chill the Dough: Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes. This will help the cookies to firm up and allow the flavors to meld.

            Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

              Shape the Cookies: Once the dough is chilled, use a tablespoon to scoop out portions, shaping them into round cookies about 1/2-inch thick. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie to allow for spreading.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Assemble Your Pizza: Once the cookies have cooled, arrange the cookies flat on a serving plate to form a pizza crust. Spread your choice of peanut butter, nutella, or Greek yogurt over the cookie base.

                    Add Toppings: Decorate with your favorite fruits like sliced strawberries or bananas. Drizzle some honey or maple syrup over the top for extra sweetness.

                      Serve and Enjoy: Slice the cookie pizza into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy your unique and healthy Zucchini Cookies Pizza!
