By now, the world knows how delicious baked oats are - they went viral for a reason. But now you are going to know how delicious my Chocolate Chip Zucchini Baked Oats are. The best part? You get to sneak in a serving of veggies effortlessly! Zucchini is the best veggie to bake with--it's flavorless, yet adds nice moisture and contains all the nutritional benefits!

- ¼ teaspoons cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons dairy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F.
- Grease an oven-safe mug or 6-8 oz ramekin.
- Grate the zucchini finely, then press out as much moisture as you can with a paper towel.
- Add all of the ingredients to a blender, except for the zucchini and chocolate chips, and blend until smooth.
- Pour oat mixture to the mug/ramekin.
