Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)
- Fresh fruits for topping (such as berries, banana slices, or apples)
- Yogurt (optional, for serving)
Directions
1. Prepare the Zucchini:
- Begin by washing and grating the zucchinis. You can use a box grater or a food processor to speed up the process. If you prefer a less watery texture, you can place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture.
2. Cook the Oatmeal:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, grated zucchini, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), honey or maple syrup, and salt.
- Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it begins to simmer. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for about 5-10 minutes or until the oats are tender and the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency.
3. Add Nuts:
- If you’re using nuts, stir them into the oatmeal during the last few minutes of cooking to warm them through and add a delightful crunch.
