Breakfast-y Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread Cookies for an easy and delicious vegan breakfast treat!Breakfast-y Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread Cookies (vegan)

These Breakfast-y Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread Cookies are actually life.

They are so lightly sweetened and made with wholesome and delicious ingredients. There is really nothing not to crave about them. It’s pretty much a bowl of oatmeal in a cookie from WITH zucchini in it so you’re even getting some veggies in.

This recipe is also plant-based, gluten free-friendly and super easy to make. There is no egg in it to bind the cookies and instead we are using Bob’s Red Mill Flaxseed Meal. I was a little hesitant on replacing eggs with flaxseed meal at first but now I am obsessed. It is such an easy sub and making a flax egg is much less intimidating than you think it is. All you have to do is combine 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with 3 tablespoons water, mix it and let it sit for a few minutes in the fridge. It takes just a few seconds and you are set.

With the amount of baking and cooking and just straight up eating we do over here, it is nice to switch things up and add an extra boost with flaxseed meal. Plus I get to sneak in extra healthy fats, fiber and vitamins from using flaxseed meal.

What I also love about these cookies is that they are relatively low in sugar. There is only 2 tablespoons of added sugar from maple syrup and half a banana.

AKA these cookies are a DREAM.
