Call me crazy, but I’ve been playing around with sneaking veggies into my own oatmeal!
So far I have included shredded zucchini, riced cauliflower, and puréed pumpkin (technically a fruit but bear with me) with great success!
Next up: shredded carrots for carrot cake oatmeal!
I generally just include some extra liquid and throw the veggies, in but I did try this yummy recipe:
Zucchini bread oatmeal
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup grated zucchini
1/2 banana, sliced
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup unsweetened almond milk or water
Combine and cook over medium heat until liquid is absorbed, approximately 8 minutes.
Optional-> top with nut butter and/or chopped nuts, fruit, or dried fruit. I’d probably sprinkle some raisins or dried dates on top!
Do you sneak extra veggies into your diet? I’d love to know your tips & tricks!
