I snuck 1 cup of zucchini into my morning oats (think zucchini bread) along with a ripe banana to sweeten them naturally and loved how these Zoats or Zucchini Oats turned out for a high-fiber, healthy breakfast.
Ingredients
7 ounces zucchini (peeled and pulsed in a food processer)
1/2 ripe banana (mashed)
1/3 cup egg whites
1/3 cup quick oats
1/3 cup milk of choice
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon (plus more for topping)
1/4 cup blueberries
1/2 ounce slivered almonds
Directions
Combine the first 6 ingredients in a small pot, zucchini to cinnamon and turn the heat on medium-low.
Cook, stirring until the oats are creamy and cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the oats.
Pour into a bowl and top with blueberries, slivered almonds and remaining cinnamon.
