Chocolate Zucchini Bread Overnight Oats

Zucchinis are one of my top favorite vegetables. Aside from how healthy and beneficial they are, they’re also very tasty and can be eaten with pretty much anything. Chicken, fish, steak, or as zoodles. The possibilities are truly endless. Believe it or not, they’re also great to add to smoothies and oatmeal.

I love doing this since it adds a touch of vegetable to our breakfast. I think it’s great to start off the day including some vegetables to the first meal you will be eating. It sets a tone for a day of healthy eating and consuming nutritious foods.

Summer is the season for zucchini. They’re in great abundance and you can find them everywhere. Grocery stores, farmers markets, or you may even have a neighbor or friend who grows them in their backyard. I love getting a number of them and making Homemade Pasta Sauce and using the rest in different recipes. Like my Chocolate Zucchini Bread.

My new favorite way to eat my zucchinis has to be in these Chocolate Zucchini Bread Overnight Oats. They truly taste very much like chocolate zucchini bread and are 100% healthy. They make for a nutritious breakfast that will provide you and your family with the energy they need to take on the day.

It’s also great if you have picky eaters at home since you can’t see the zucchini once it gets covered with all of the rest of the ingredients. I also love that the zucchini is eaten completely raw so none of the nutrients get removed from cooking it. If you are a huge fan of zucchinis as I am then you definitely need to try this recipe ASAP.
