I don’t put nuts in the oatmeal, because Josh is allergic, but I had a jar of candied pecans on the counter so I added some to my bowl. SO yum! I highly recommend topping the baked oatmeal with candied pecans. You can also add an extra dash of cinnamon, sprinkle of brown sugar, raisins, dried cranberries, and an extra splash of milk. Feel free to jazz up your oatmeal however you like!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups old fashioned oats or gluten-free oats
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 1/2 cups milk of your choice
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted and cooled slightly (or melted and cooled butter)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup grated zucchini
  • Candied pecans, for topping the oatmeal, optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8×8 square baking dish and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the oats, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • In another medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, coconut oil (or butter), and vanilla.
  • Pour the milk mixture over the oats and stir until combined. Add in the zucchini and stir again. Pour oat mixture into prepared baking dish.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden and oatmeal is set. Let cool for 5 minutes. Spoon into bowls and serve with candied pecans, if desired.

Notes

This baked oatmeal is great reheated in the microwave. I always add a splash of milk after reheating to liven it up. This recipe can easily be doubled for a 9×13 pan. Use gluten-free oats to make this recipe gluten-free. Other topping ideas-brown sugar, cinnamon, dried cranberries, or raisins.

  1. Thank you! I cannot wait to try this. We are overrun with zucchini so i wanted to freeze it but i can only make so much zucchini bread bc we just don’t need to eat a lot of it. BUT I searched online for zucchini bread baked oatmeal bc I make a baked oatmeal nearly every week and the first hit was your site . I was so excited bc I follow you already and trust your recipes. Yesterday I baked my favorite banana bread baked oatmeal in now this one is next in the queue. Thank you SO much!

      I finally did make this and wanted to come back yo leavea review because it is wonderful! I added pecans rather than use as a topping. This is just the right amount of sweerness for my taste and baked oatmeal tends to carry me through the morning well. Thank uoi very much, Maria!

    Moist and delicious. Not overly sweet, which my husband said was a plus. Tried it cold and warm. Tastes great either way. Recipe was easy and straight forward. Will make again!

    This is my new favorite! We had SO much zucchini this year and I froze a lot so I’m using garden goodness in December. I added pecans and dried cranberries and could eat this every day! I’m contemplating how I could add orange flavor to make cranberry orange zucchini baked oatmeal. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!
