Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, grated

2 medium apples, peeled and diced (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup almond flour (or whole wheat flour)

1/2 cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar)

1/4 cup maple syrup

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

2 large eggs (or flax eggs for a vegan option)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup melted coconut oil or unsalted butter

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with a little coconut oil or non-stick spray.

    Prep Zucchini and Apples: Grate the zucchinis using a box grater and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel. Peel and dice the apples into small cubes.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

        Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until fully combined.

          Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and add in the grated zucchini, diced apples, and chopped nuts (if using). Stir until everything is uniformly mixed.

            Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

              Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Serve: Allow the bake to cool for about 10-15 minutes. Slice into squares and enjoy warm or at room temperature. This dish pairs wonderfully with a dollop of yogurt or a sprinkle of extra cinnamon on top.
