As soon as the zucchini starts growing in my garden it I start adding it to everything. From zucchini noodles to this Zucchini Bread Oatmeal.
An easy way to bring some fresh vegetables into your morning routine is to grate some into your oatmeal. It adds a little bit of texture to your bowl and mimics the taste of zucchini bread! When you’re done making this, you can pop over and make my whole wheat zucchini walnut bread!
