- 2 zucchini riced or grated (520 g)
- 1 cup liquid egg whites 240 g
- 1 ⅓ cup oats 120 g
- ¼ cup Califia Farms almond milk creamer 60 g (or just sub your favorite milk)
- 2 scoops snickerdoodle or similar protein powder* (66 g) (I’m loving CSE)
- 1-2 Tbsp liquid vanilla stevia 15-30 g-- or your favorite sweetener- taste the batter.. make it sweet enough for you!
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Wash and dry your zucchini and grate them finely. OR, you can use a food processor or salsa maker to “rice” them if you don’t like the strands.
In a large bowl, combine your riced zucchini (no need to drain), liquid egg whites, oats, creamer, protein powder, stevia, vanilla, baking powder, and cinnamon. Mix well and pour into a greased 9x13 pan. Bake for 30- 40 minutes or until set. (40 was great for me but my pan was a little smaller than 9x13 so they were pretty thick.)
Let them cool before cutting into 8 pieces. I love mine chilled in the fridge, then served with Two Good vanilla Greek yogurt, a few tablespoons of almond milk reddi whip, berries, and a little drizzle of nut butter! A perfect breakfast, afternoon snack, or healthy dessert.
Optional toppings:
- 80 g Two Good yogurt
- 10 g almond milk reddi whip
- 30 g strawberries, chopped
- 20 g blueberries
- 4 g nut butter, drizzled
- 3 g tiny sprinkle of granola

I don’t want to trick you, so I need to make my disclaimer. This isn’t cake or quick bread. It’s more similar to bread pudding. But I LOVE them once they're all decked out. As long as you see this as more of a firm square of oatmeal… made extra “macro-friendly” since it’s bulked up with squash, you might get hooked like me! Let me know.
