Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup rolled oats 120 g
  • 1 tsp flax seeds
  • 1 small zucchini grated
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 ½ cups soy milk 360 ml, unsweetened
  • ½-1 cup water
  • 1 banana sliced
  • 2 medium figs sliced
  • ½ cup blueberries 75 g

Instructions

  • Mix oats, flax seeds, zucchini, cocoa powder and cinnamon in a glass bowl. Pour in the soy milk and water, then stir until well-combined.
  • Divide the mixture between two glass jars and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Use regular bowls if you don’t have jars – just make sure they are covered.
  • In the morning, you can decide whether you want to eat your overnight zoats warm or cold. Either just top them with some fresh fruit and nuts and enjoy them right away or, if you’re up for a warm breakfast, you can heat up your zucchini oats. This will make them creamier and offer a softer consistency, too.
  • Add a splash of water to the chocolate oats and place them in a microwave set on high power for 30 seconds. Then, stir the oatmeal and microwave for another 30 seconds. You can also heat your zoats on the stovetop.
  • Let them cool slightly, then top with banana, figs and blueberries. Stir in some nut butter if you like and enjoy!

Notes

  • These overnight zoats keep well in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Try delicious add-ins such as almond or cashew butter, dried fruit, shredded coconut or cocoa nibs!
  • Feel free to use any plant-based milk you like!
  • If you want sweeter oats, add maple syrup or chopped dates to your mixture before putting it into the fridge.
