★Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
1 medium zucchini, grated
2 cups water (or milk of choice)
1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Sweetener to taste (honey, maple syrup, or any other preferred sweetener)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
Toppings of choice (e.g., fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, or yogurt)
Meat broth with frozen vegetables
★Instructions
- Prepare the Zucchini:
- Grate the zucchini using a grater. No need to peel it unless you prefer.
- Cook the Oats:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the oats, grated zucchini, water (or milk), chia seeds, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
- Simmer the Porridge:
- Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer.
- Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, cooking until the oats are soft and the mixture has thickened (about 5-7 minutes).
- Sweeten:
- Once the porridge has reached your desired consistency, add sweetener to taste. Stir well to combine.
- Serve:
- Spoon the porridge into bowls and add your favorite toppings. Fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, or a dollop of yogurt can add extra flavor and nutrition.
- Enjoy:
