Never has eating your vegetables for breakfast ever tasted so good. Bonus: there’s no refined sugar in it! Nada. Zilch. None. I mean, don’t you hate those breakfast foods like muffins and scones that make you think for two seconds that they’re ‘healthy’ because “the bakery says they’re for breakfast!” but you know in the back of your head that you’re really just eating a glorified cupcake and cookie. If I’m going to have that much sugar for breakfast, just pass me the donuts. I’m all in or all out. It’s just how I roll.

This baked oatmeal has just a tiny bit of honey in it to sweeten it ever so slightly. As with all of the baked oatmeals I’ve made, I love eating a big scoop in a bowl, with a splash of unsweetened almond milk on top. It is perfect this way just out of the oven, and the leftovers reheat well too…especially with that splash of milk on top.

With the classic zucchini bread spices, this really does taste like you’re eating zucchini bread but with the heartiness of oatmeal. During the week at my ‘real job’ I start work at 7 and don’t eat lunch until 12:30. If I’m lucky I can squeeze a snack in somewhere in the middle but if I don’t, that’s 5 1/2 hours without eating. So a measly bowl of cereal or a banana just ain’t gonna cut it. I need my oats to keep me full and this does the trick.
