I know that the name “Zucchini Oats” doesn’t sound too appealing...so let’s call them “Zoats” for the sake of this recipe post. Zucchinis are one of the most incredible veggies! They have a really neutral and mild flavor. You can add them to just about anything, and the taste will be completely masked. Sneak in a whole serving of veggies before lunchtime with this unique oatmeal recipe!
Be Careful: these are HIGHLY ADDICTIVE. We can't quite put our finger on WHY they are so amazingly delicious... there's no sugar, nothing processed + no gluten. Something about the consistency + blend of flavors that just *POP* in your mouth. I had 5 for breakfast this morning with zero guilt + had to run out of the house so I would stop. Here we goooo!
