Zucchini Bread Oatmeal
Description
This recipe cooks old fashioned oats with sliced banana, grated zucchini, cinnamon, vanilla, and a pinch of sea salt in almond milk until thick and fluffy. Stirring frequently ensures the banana softens into the oats and prevents sticking. The resulting oatmeal has a creamy texture enhanced by soft zucchini and banana pieces throughout.
The flavor profile balances the mild earthiness of zucchini with the natural sweetness and creaminess of banana and warm spices like cinnamon and vanilla. Topping with chopped walnuts adds crunch and almond butter adds depth and nutty richness.
Ideal for a filling breakfast, this oatmeal offers vegetable inclusion in an approachable sweet preparation. It can be served warm and is suitable for those looking to add subtle vegetables to morning meals.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 banana sliced
- 1/4 cup zucchini grated
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- pinch of sea salt
- 1 cup almond milk or water, unsweetened
- 1/2 Tablespoon walnuts chopped
- 1 Tablespoon almond butter or another type of nut butter
Instructions
- Add oats, banana, zucchini, cinnamon and sea salt to a medium pot. Add almond milk/water and stir to combine. Heat over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes or until all the liquid has been absorbed. Be sure to stir the oats several times while cooking to make sure the banana slices melt into the oats and oats don't stick to the pot. You’ll know the oatmeal is done when all the liquid is absorbed and the oats are thick and fluffy.
- Portion oats into a bowl, top with chopped walnuts and almond butter and enjoy!
