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!

The texture of almond and coconut flours makes for the most amazing soft center with nice, crispy edges. Add in chunks of your favorite chocolate bar 🍫 and you’ll get melty chocolate puddles in every bite ... true perfection!! 😍
