    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Studded with vibrant zucchini, crunchy walnuts and chewy raisins, this hearty and sweet Zucchini Bread Baked Oatmeal recipe is a healthy and satisfying way to start your day!

    Oatmeal is by far my favorite way to start the day. It's tasty, satisfying and nutritious. What's not to love?! Plus, it's so versatile! You can use it to make Healthy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Granola or Easy Homemade Oatmeal Date Granola Bars or Zucchini Carrot Oatmeal Breakfast Muffins.

    Or if you're sweet tooth is talking, then you can use it to make cookies like these Chewy Oatmeal Apricot Almond Cookies ( <== seriously amazing!) or these Vegan Coconut Oatmeal Cookies.

    You can cook oatmeal in the microwave, on the stove top, or be selfish and make vegan baked oats just for one.

    You can even prep it ahead of time with this make ahead carrot cake baked oatmeal.

    You can turn this into any flavor you desire...such as this zucchini I'm about to show you 🙂

    Really, I could keep going on and on about how much I love oatmeal!

    Ingredients

    all the ingredients for zucchini bread baked oatmeal

    Other than some freshly shredded zucchini, this zucchini bread baked oatmeal requires just a handful of pantry staple ingredients.

    I'll list out everything you need to make this recipe:

    • Ground flaxseed
    • Non-dairy milk
    • Coconut sugar
    • Coconut oil
    • Cinnamon
    • Ground nutmeg
    • Ground ginger
    • Sea salt
    • Old fashioned rolled oats
    • Shredded zucchini
    • Optional mix-ins: chopped walnuts, raisins, etc.

    How to Make Baked Oatmeal

    Baked oatmeal isn't one of those foods you eat every single morning, but it is our family's favorite way to eat oatmeal.

    The truth is that this kind of oatmeal appeals to those who love anything that comes out of the oven. It's denser and chewier than what you'll get with oatmeal cooked on the stove top, which tends to have a more creamy, soupy texture to it.

    This method allows you to slice it and serve it with your favorite fruit or spread!

    Step-by-step instructions

    Step 1: Mix wet ingredients

    Start by whisking together the wet ingredients in a large mixing bowl, including any sugars, spices and salt.

    STEP 2: Add in dry ingredients

    Then add in rolled oats and any mix-ins you desire, such as shredded vegetables, sliced or chopped frozen, fresh or dried fruit as well as any nuts or seeds. For this particular recipe, we're obviously putting in the zucchini as well.

    Add in the dry ingredients to the baked oatmeal recipe

    STEP 3: Pour into baking dish

    Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and use a spoon to make the batter nice and level. You want to make sure the oats and liquid are evenly distributed before you begin to bake.

    STEP 4: Bake and set

    Bake the oatmeal until it's firm and set. Oven should be at 350°F / 175°C.

    STEP 5: Slice and serve!

    Slice and serve this zucchini bake with your favorite toppings!
