Ingredients
- 1/2 cup shredded apple
- 1/2 cup shredded zucchini
- about 1 cup shredded carrot
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 3 tbsp maple syrup (4 tbsp if you want things to be a little sweeter!)
- 2 tsp cinnamon (or more to taste!)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 cup oats
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Set the oven to 350 degrees.
- Peel the carrot and apple, then shred the carrot, zucchini, and apple with a cheese grater.
- Combine the shredded fruit and vegetables in a bowl.
- Add in the almond butter, egg, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract.
- Next stir in the oats, cinnamon, and baking powder.
- Pour the mixture into a greased 9×9 baking pan or dish. (I have not tested with a different sized dish, but if you use a smaller one I would suggest adding more baking time)
- Top with your choice of chocolate chips. This is an optional step but I highly recommend white chocolate chips!
- Bake for 25 minutes.
- Let cool and cut into squares.
- Store in the fridge and enjoy!
