0.5 tsp Salt Adjust to fit your taste.

For the Wet Ingredients

1 cup Milk of Choice Dairy or non-dairy options like almond milk.
0.5 cup Maple Syrup or Honey For a healthier option, use mashed bananas or unsweetened applesauce.

1 cup Blueberries Can be substituted with strawberries or mixed berries.

Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8x8 baking dish with oil.
In a medium bowl, whisk together rolled oats, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, combine eggs, milk of your choice, vanilla extract, remaining oil, and maple syrup or honey, whisking thoroughly.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, gently stirring to combine, then fold in blueberries and grated zucchini.
Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining blueberries on top of the oatmeal mixture.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a knife comes out clean.
Allow the dish to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or topped with yogurt.
