Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 8x8 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- *First, measure out 1 heaping cup of shredded zucchini from your medium zucchini, then place shredded zucchini in a paper towel or cheese cloth and squeeze out all of the moisture/water. This is very important!
- In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded zucchini, applesauce, eggs, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and melted and cooled butter or coconut oil until well combined.
- Next stir in dry ingredients: oats, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, nutmeg and salt; stir well to combine. Fold in diced apples, raisins and pecans/walnuts.
- Spread out oatmeal in a prepared pan. Add thinly sliced apples on top if you’d like. Bake for 35-40 minutes until edges are slightly golden and center is set.
- In a small bowl, mix together the greek yogurt, powdered sugar, milk, vanilla and cinnamon; mix to combine. Add more milk if necessary so you can drizzle on top of the oatmeal. Serves 6-8. Enjoy!
Notes
- Feel free to skip the glaze and just drizzle the baked oatmeal with maple syrup instead; it’s just as delicious!
