Raise your hand if you’re always looking for easy and healthy snack options for the kids… That don’t come out of a package.

I thought I had hit the jackpot when I found out about energy bites (you know, the little balls made from fried fruit and nuts), but turns out my kids don’t tolerate them well. But these Zucchini Bread Breakfast Cookies? They are really saving my butt this summer, with two always-hungry wild childs to feed.

DO YOU HAVE TO SQUEEZE THE SHREDDED ZUCCHINI?

Fellow moms in the thick of the early years: I know every little step can feel like an overwhelming mountain. But yes, you have to squeeze the excess water out of the shredded zucchini, or you’ll end up with soggy cookies.

You COULD squeeze the zucchini in a clean tea towel. But these days I use some paper towels. They’ll fall apart a little, but I’ve never experienced the zucchini sticking to it.

How I serve these:
My kids love these Zucchini Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies for a quick breakfast with a glass of milk on the side before they go run over the flowers n the backyard, ahem.

But they also love eating them by themselves as a healthy afternoon snack. And I definitely eat a few, too!
