These Dairy-Free Lemon Blueberry Baked Zucchini Oats are everything I want in a breakfast. They're bright, full of flavor, are loaded with hidden veggies, and have just the right balance of cozy and nourishing.

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350℉.
In a small bowl, whisk together 4 tbsp flax meal and 3/4 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
Protein powder: For a dairy-free option, I’m loving Active Stacks (use code LILLIE to save 10%). For a whey option, the CSE is delicious (use code LILLIE to save 10%).If you like things sweeter, feel free to add a little sweetener to the batter.
