Chocolate Zucchini Overnight Oats

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

CREAMY, DREAMY CHOCOLATE OVERNIGHT OATS .. made with zucchini! Say what?! Kind of weird, but it works. The zucchini makes the oats extra moist and you won’t even know it’s there. Plus with the addition of creamy oat milk and rich cacao, these overnight oats are pure deliciousness.

One serving is ~260 calories with 16 grams of protein, making it a really satiating breakfast or snack, full of flavor and amped up with a little veggie action too.

Prepare this the night before (and double the recipe so you can share!) and have a yummy breakfast the next morning. I promise you won’t even notice the zucchini!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup oat milk I love Rise Brewing Co.! Check out the "discount codes" tab for $$$ off!

  • 1 tsp chia seeds
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • In a small mason jar or tight-fitting container, combine all ingredients and stir until well incorporated. Tip: Re-use your same teaspoon for all measurements so there's less clean up! Just wipe with a wet paper towel between ingredients.

I'm obsessed with how soft & delicate these cookies are, thx to a blend of almond and coconut flours. There's just enough lemon to make them slightly tart but still sweet ☺️
⁣
Catch them this Saturday at my pop up at @fernbotanica 12-5PM 🌿 These babies always sell out so get there early or pre-order a box! πŸ’›πŸ˜˜
How early is too early to eat a chocolate chip coo How early is too early to eat a chocolate chip cookie? Asking for a friend ... πŸ˜†

I wasn’t planning on recipe testing these babies until later today but I woke up craving joy and baking brings me just that ❀️ Make sure you carve out time today just for YOU ... without a real agenda or plan or purpose. Just because it makes you smile 😊

Also, will report back on cookies. I really want to stuff them with ice cream and freeze them so they β€œset” like a proper ice cream sandwich!!🍦πŸͺ
I journaled a bit this AM and a few themes came up I journaled a bit this AM and a few themes came up: comparison, restless brain, and success. Here's what I have for you ...⁣
⁣
1. Comparison is the thief of joy. Stop comparing!! You are unique, wonderful, capable, and SO amazing in your own right.⁣ ❀️
⁣
2. Don't believe everything you "think". Thoughts are just thoughts. Thoughts are not facts. β£πŸ€”
⁣
3. You are confined only by the walls you build yourself. If you want to see change, grab your hammer & tear down those walls! YOU are in charge of your trajectory .. no one else.⁣ πŸ”¨
⁣
Also, unrelated, but here's your Monday reminder to check in on your peeps. Most everyone I've talked to in the past few weeks is going through some real tough stuff. Be that person that brings them a little levity and some love. And if you (safely) can, hug 'em tight! I love hugs lol.⁣ πŸ€—
⁣
Which resonates w you most - 1, 2 or 3?  Hope you all have a great week!!! πŸ’–

Someone I met at my pop up on Sat (hi if you're re Someone I met at my pop up on Sat (hi if you're reading!!) commented on how much she ❀️ my mini 🍌 bread and I realized I never shared the recipe!! 

These cutie loaves are SO simple, fluffy, made with the best mix of flours (hi almond, hi oat), lightly sweetened, and packed with vegan chocolate chips! πŸ˜‹

Here's what you need:
β€’ 1 cup mashed banana ~ 2 large or 3 small 🍌 (overripe!) 
β€’ 2 eggs πŸ₯š
β€’ 1/4 cup coconut oil πŸ₯₯ - melted & cooled 
β€’ 1/3 cup maple syrup 🍁
β€’ 1 tsp vanilla extract 
β€’ 1 cup GF oat flour 
β€’ 1 cup almond flour 
β€’ 1.5 tsp baking powder
β€’ 1 tsp cinnamon
β€’ 1/4 tsp salt
β€’ 2/3 cup @enjoylifefoods choc chips 🍫

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease your mini loaf tin (should make 7 loaves). Mash bananas in a bowl and mix in the wet ingredients - eggs, oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Add in the dry ingredients - flours, BP, cinnamon, salt - and stir to combine. Fold in choc chips. Equally distribute among greased tins. Bake for 25 mins (or until toothpick comes out clean). Let cool and enjoy! πŸ’›
