If you want to feel super nourished, eat veggies with breakfast! I love adding veggies to egg scrambles and omelettes, but it can be tough to incorporate veggies into a sweet breakfast. Zucchini plays into a warm bowl of spiced oats so well!
This time of the year, zucchini are abundant and I'm always looking for ways to use them up. For this recipe, you can process them instead of going through the hassle to grate them. Keep "grated" zucchini in the fridge ready to be thrown into your oats. Don't worry about the excess liquid. The oats will soak it all up.
This recipe uses quick cooking oats because they expand much better than regular. You can either buy them or make them by pulsing rolled oats in the food processor until they are broken down, but not a powder.
Not only is this bowl of oats BIG, but it's also filling. Egg whites give these oats more protein to keep you satisfied until your next meal.
I have linked some of the ingredients I own down below. These products are tried and true and are the best value and quality that I have found.
