Ingredients

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (certified gluten-free, if needed)
1 ¾ cups water
1 zucchini , shredded
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of ground nutmeg
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)

Instructions

Combine the oats, water, zucchini, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a small saucepan over high heat on the stove. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, lower the heat and simmer until the oats are tender, about 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the maple syrup to taste, and serve warm.

Notes

Nutrition information is for half the batch. This information is automatically calculated, so it's just an estimate, not a guarantee.

If you'd like to make this with steel-cut oats, you'll need to simmer the oats for closer to 25 minutes. If you prefer not to stand over the stove, consider using an Instant Pot instead.

For quick-cooking oats, simply cook them for 1 minute, until tender.
