Fall is almost here and that means that it is time to bake up some delicious treats! Baking is one of my all time favorite things to do. I love to try new recipes out, share them with you and then take the yummy desserts to work to share. I try to make a variety of things like desserts and treats but also some healthier versions of items too. I like to add in some ingredients that are different but healthy. Since it is almost fall, Pumpkin is in season! I love the cooler air but also love the pumpkin flavored items that appear. I also love to cook some yummy goodies to share ;).

Yum!! I am so excited to share this delicious recipe with you! I was a little worried about adding in the zucchini but oh it gives the cookies such a delicious flavor and makes them a little healthier. That, combined with the oatmeal, chocolate chips and pumpkin makes these cookies delicious. I cannot wait to make another batch and give them to my best friend who shares my love of pumpkin ;).

Can I just leave out the chocolate chips or do I need to substitute another ingredient? I have a problem with chocolate.
