1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup milk
1 1/2 cups grated peeled zucchini
1/2 cup nuts (optional-I left these out)
1/2-1 cup raisins

2. combine dry ingredients in another bowl and mix well
3. add dry ingredients alternately with the milk to the creamed mixture

ok i LOVE this.. thanks!!!

i think i'd trade out the raisins for choco chips (hubby wont eat raisins) and i like to use the old fashioned oats (never made difference and that is what we have).

thank you thank you thank you for posting!!!

say... wonder if you can use pumpkin in place of the zucchini...hum.....

I was eating these for breakfast and my papa says "cookies for breakfast???"

to which I replied "they have fruit and vegetables in them....they're healthy!!!"
