Ingredients

  • 4 Tbsp. flax meal 30g
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 2 zucchini 370g, processed until smooth, or finely grated
  • 3 scoops vanilla protein powder 90g*
  • 1⅓ cups old fashioned oats 120g
  • 1 Tbsp. Califia Farms almond milk creamer 15g, or just sub your favorite milk
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • Zest from 2 lemons
  • 2 Tbsp. juice from lemon 30g
  • 1/4 cup blueberries 50g

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. We like it as written.
