Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease baking sheets.

Step 2

Stir together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and cloves in a medium bowl; set aside.

Step 3

Beat brown sugar and butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until creamy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Mix in flour mixture and oats until just incorporated.

Step 4

Wring zucchini in a clean towel to remove any excess moisture. Stir zucchini and raisins into dough; mix just enough to evenly combine. Drop batter by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until the bottom edges turn golden brown, 14 to 16 minutes.
