Zucchini Overnight Oats

Zucchini Overnight Oats

Ingredients for three serves:

• Zucchini, 1 cup, grated

• Rolled oats, 1 cup

• Cinnamon, 1 tsp.

• Unsweetened almond milk, 1.5 cup

• Raisins 1 heaped tbsp. OR honey, 1 tbsp.

• Pomegranate seeds, 3 tbsp. (for topping)

• Unroasted hazelnuts, 3 tbsp. (for topping)

Instructions:

 In a mixing bowl, combine grated zucchini, rolled oats, cinnamon, and unsweetened almond milk.

If you prefer a sweeter flavor, add 1 tbsp. of honey to the mixture. Alternatively, you can use 1 heaped tbsp. of raisins for natural sweetness.

Stir the ingredients well until everything is evenly combined.

Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture overnight to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors.

The next morning, give the mixture a good stir. If it seems too thick, you can add a splash of almond milk to achieve your desired consistency.

Divide the zucchini overnight oats into three serving bowls.

Top each bowl with 1 tbsp. of pomegranate seeds and 1 tbsp. unroasted hazelnuts for a burst of freshness and crunch.

Notes:

Overnight oats keep well in the fridge for at least four days.

For more protein, add unsweetened and unsalted peanut or almond butter.

The overnight oats can be reheated.
