Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- ¾ cup unsweetened almond or cashew milk
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- ¼ cup grated zucchini
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ - 1 Tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
- 1 Tablespoon chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the rolled oats, unsweetened almond or cashew milk, vanilla protein powder, grated zucchini, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and maple syrup (if using) into a sealable container. Stir thoroughly until everything is well incorporated. Seal the container with a lid and refrigerate overnight or for at least a couple of hours to allow the oats to soak and flavors to meld.
- Serve: Remove the oats from the refrigerator and give them a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more almond or cashew milk to reach your desired consistency. Top with chopped walnuts for some added crunch and extra nutrition. Enjoy your cold, refreshing zucchini bread-inspired overnight oats.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh grated zucchini and pat dry excess moisture before mixing to avoid sogginess.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your preference.
- Can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- To make it vegan, ensure the protein powder is plant-based.
- Feel free to substitute walnuts with other nuts or seeds like pecans or chia seeds for variety.
