Ingredients

  • 1 cup mashed banana  2-3 medium ripe bananas
  • 1 cup zucchini shredded, drained 
  • 2 eggs 
  • 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk 
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil melted and cooled (or melted butter/ghee)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9×13 pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Use a cheese grater or food processor to shred the zucchini, and then press down into a fine mesh strainer using paper towels to drain any excess liquid.
  • In a large bowl, mix together mashed banana, eggs, almond milk, shredded zucchini, coconut oil and vanilla until mostly smooth.
  • Next, add in rolled oats, collagen or protein powder (if using), baking powder, cinnamon, ground flaxseed and salt until well combined.
  • Lastly, gently fold in chopped walnuts and dark chocolate chips.
  • Pour mixture into prepared pan. Sprinkle cinnamon on top, to taste.
  • Bake for 25-35 minutes until edges start to become slightly golden brown. (Or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.)
  • Serve warm with a tablespoon of almond butter on top, if desired. 
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, then transfer to freezer in gallon Ziploc bag or other freezer-safe container for up to 6 months.
