Cinnamon-spiced banana zucchini overnight oats

Cinnamon-spiced banana zucchini overnight oats are a nutritious and delicious way to start your day. This recipe combines the creamy goodness of almond milk, the fiber-rich benefits of multi-grain oatmeal, and the natural sweetness of banana with the unique addition of zucchini. It's an easy, make-ahead breakfast that ensures you have a healthy meal ready to go in the morning.

Ingredients:

1 banana
120g
1 cup multi-grain oatmeal
80g
1 cup almond milk
240g
1/2 tbsp chia seeds
6g
1 zucchini
200g
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1.30g
1 tbsp walnuts
8g

Instructions:

1. Prep the Zucchini:
- Wash the zucchini thoroughly.
- Grate the zucchini using a medium or fine grater.
- Place the grated zucchini on a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. Set aside.
2. Mash the Banana:
- Peel the banana and place it in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Use a fork to mash the banana until it forms a smooth puree.
3. Combine Ingredients:
- To the bowl with the mashed banana, add the multi-grain oatmeal, almond milk, chia seeds, grated zucchini, and cinnamon.
- Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until they are well-combined.
4. Refrigerate Overnight:
- Divide the mixture evenly into two jars or containers with tight-fitting lids.
- Cover the jars or containers and place them in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 6 hours) to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and the flavors to meld together.
5. Serving:
- In the morning, take the jars or containers out of the refrigerator.
- Stir the oats to ensure an even consistency. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Top with walnuts just before serving for a delightful crunch.
6. Enjoy:
- Your Cinnamon-Spiced Banana Zucchini Overnight Oats are now ready to enjoy!

Tips:

- For best results, use a ripe banana as it will be easier to mash and will add more natural sweetness to the oats.

- Grate the zucchini finely so that it blends seamlessly into the oatmeal, ensuring you get all the nutrition without affecting the texture.

- You can prepare multiple servings at once and keep them in the fridge for up to 3-4 days for convenient, healthy breakfasts throughout the week.

- Feel free to add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter taste, or add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.

Cinnamon-spiced banana zucchini overnight oats are a fantastic way to incorporate vegetables into your breakfast while enjoying a tasty and filling meal. The blend of flavors from the banana, zucchini, and cinnamon, paired with the crunch of walnuts and the nutritional boost from chia seeds, makes this recipe a powerhouse of nutrition. Enjoy this easy, meal-prep-friendly breakfast that will keep you fueled for the day ahead.
