Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Shred the zucchini using a grater.
- Chop the walnuts into small pieces if they are not already chopped.
- In a medium-sized bowl or a mason jar, add the multi-grain oatmeal, shredded zucchini, raisins, flaxseed, chopped walnuts, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Pour in the vanilla extract and maple syrup over the dry mixture.
- Add the almond milk to the bowl or jar.
- Stir all the ingredients together until they are well combined. Make sure the oatmeal is fully immersed in the liquid to ensure it soaks up all the flavors.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or securely seal the mason jar with its lid.
- Place the mixture in the refrigerator and let it sit overnight, or for at least 6-8 hours. This allows the oats to soften and absorb all the flavors.
- In the morning, take the oats out of the refrigerator. Give it a good stir before serving.
- You can enjoy the oats cold, or heat them up in the microwave for 1-2 minutes if you prefer them warm.
- Feel free to add extra toppings such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of additional maple syrup, or a dollop of nut butter before serving.
Tips:
- Make sure to grate the zucchini finely so that it incorporates well and doesn't create an overly chunky texture.
- If you prefer your oats a bit sweeter, feel free to add an extra drizzle of maple syrup or a dash of honey.
- Customize your oats by adding a variety of nuts and dried fruits based on your preference.
- For a creamier texture, consider using Greek yogurt or an additional splash of almond milk when serving.
- Mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
