Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup shredded zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)

1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen)

1 1/2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)

2 large eggs

1/4 cup maple syrup or honey

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) – optional

Extra blueberries and nuts for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a little olive oil.

    Prepare Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded zucchini, blueberries, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.

      Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until fully combined.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing thoroughly until everything is evenly incorporated. If using, fold in the chopped nuts.

          Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. If desired, top with additional blueberries and nuts for added crunch and flavor.

            Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

              Cool & Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, drizzled with extra maple syrup if desired.

                Storage: Leftovers can be covered and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat for a quick breakfast!
