Ingredients

    2 medium zucchini, finely shredded and squeezed of excess liquid
    1/2 cup applesauce
    ⅓ cup canola oil
    1 tbsp agave nectar (or honey)
    1 tbsp vanilla
    1 tsp instant coffee granules
    1 ½ tbsp dry Homemade Egg Replacer (or 2 eggs / egg replacers of your choice)
    1 tsp salt
    ½ cup brown sugar
    12 packets Truvia sweetener (or ½ cup sugar)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325F.
Combine the zucchini, applesauce, oil, agave and vanilla in a bowl.
Mix in the coffee, egg replacer, salt, brown sugar, sugar, flours, baking soda and cocoa.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Drop dollops of dough about the size of a golf ball onto a greased (or parchment lined) cookie sheet, about 1” apart. Leave them mounded for thicker, more brownie-like cookies, or flatten them out slightly for crisper cookies.
Bake 10-12 minutes, (longer for unflattened, less for squished ones)
