Notes
- flour: can sub half for whole wheat flour but they will be denser. Have not tested with oat flour, almond flour, coconut flour or gluten free flour
- zucchini: can sub for one peeled, cored and grated apple
- seeds: add chopped walnut or pecans instead
- oil: can substitute with melted coconut oil or olive oil
- to store and freeze: keep covered on counter or fridge for a couple of days (I suggest adding a piece of paper towel as they're very moist) and they're totally freezer friendly!
