Ingredients

4 tbsp Flax meal (30 g)
3/4 cup Water
2 Zucchini, processed until smooth, or finely grated (370 g)
3 scoops Vanilla protein powder (90 g)*
1 1/3 cups Old fashioned oats (120 g)
1 tbsp Califia Farms almond milk creamer (or just sub your favorite milk) (15 g)
2 tsp Vanilla
2 tsp Baking powder
Zest from 2 lemons
2 tbsp Juice from lemon (30 g)
1/4 cup Blueberries (50 g)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°.
In a small bowl, whisk together 4 tbsp flax meal and ¾ cup water, set it aside to thicken for five minutes. While you wait, grate your zucchini finely, OR use a food processor to process until pretty smooth. (This is my preferred method.)
In a large bowl, combine your processed squash (don’t drain), thickened flax meal (flax egg), oats, creamer, protein powder, vanilla, and baking powder. Add lemon zest, juice, and blueberries, and combine gently. Pour into a greased 9x9 pan and bake for 45-50 minutes or until set. Turn the oven off and let it sit in the warm oven for 10-20 minutes longer just to help them firm up.
Let them cool before cutting into 6 pieces. I like mine chilled, in a bowl topped with almond milk Reddi-whip, a little cashew milk, and extra berries. A drizzle of nut butter is always good! A perfect breakfast, afternoon snack, or healthy dessert.
Store in the fridge!

Notes

NOTES:
Protein Powder: For a dairy-free option, I’m loving Active Stacks. For a whey option, the CSE is delicious.

If you like things sweeter, feel free to add a little sweetener to the batter. We like it as written.
