Combining zucchini with oatmeal can make for a nutritious and delicious meal. Here are a couple of ideas on how to incorporate zucchini into your oatmeal:
Ingredients :
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 medium zucchini, grated
• 2 cups water or milk
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
• A handful of spinach or other greens (optional)
• Olive oil or butter for serving
Directions :
1. In a pot, bring the water or milk to a boil.
2. Add the rolled oats and reduce the heat to a simmer.
3. Stir in the grated zucchini and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the oats are tender.
4. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
5. If using, add the spinach and cook until wilted.
6. Stir in the Parmesan cheese if desired.
7. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil or a pat of butter on top.
Tips:
For added protein, you can stir in some Greek yogurt or a scoop of protein powder.
Zucchini adds moisture to the oatmeal, so you might need to adjust the liquid amount slightly to achieve your desired consistency.
If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the zucchini before adding it to the oatmeal.
