Don't let the long name scare you, these dairy-free lemon blueberry baked zucchini oats are one of the few “breakfast” foods that actually checks off all of my high maintenance boxes.
2Zucchini, processed until smooth, or finely grated (370 g)
3scoopsVanilla protein powder (90 g)*
1 1/3cupsOld fashioned oats (120 g)
1tbspCalifia Farms almond milk creamer (or just sub your favorite milk)(15 g)
2tspVanilla
2tspBaking powder
Zest from 2 lemons
2tbspJuice from lemon (30 g)
1/4cupBlueberries (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:
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.MFP Lillie Eats and Tells Dairy-Free Lemon Blueberry Baked Zucchini Oats
