Zoats or Zucchini Oats
For a nutritious start to the day, I cleverly incorporated a cup of zucchini into my breakfast oats—imagine the deliciousness of zucchini bread! I also added a perfectly ripe banana for natural sweetness, and I was thrilled with how these Zucchini Oats, affectionately known as Zoats, turned out. They're a fantastic high-fiber option for a wholesome morning meal.
