Diane Richardson, from Kirkwood, Missouri, found an ingenious way to get her picky six-year-old, Robbie, to eat his zucchini--by turning it into a treat. She makes double batches and even lets her kids eat them for breakfast.
What you'll need
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup corn oil
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
- 1 1/4 cups oatmeal
- 1 cup finely grated zucchini
How to make it
- Heat the oven to 350° F. Beat together the egg, oil and both sugars until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Add the oatmeal and zucchini and mix well.
- Drop by teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet, placing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown. Makes about 2 dozen.
