I love challenging the societal norms for eating.

For example, who decided that oatmeal has to be sweet?

Fess up.

Not me, so let’s stir in some zucchini spirals and seasoning and savor.

If you’ve been here a few times, you know I love sneaking vegetables into my morning oatmeal recipes…

But what if you didn’t have to sneak?

These Savory Zucchini Oats (Zoats) are perfect for a savory breakfast, lunch, or dinner for a different take on your classic bowl of oatmeal.

Ever since seeing my fist savory oatmeal recipe, I’ve been entranced.

Oats as the base to a full on gourmet meal?

What will they think of next?

Most of the recipes I browed have runny eggs on top in a glistening over top, but I made these bowls plant-based and equally drool-worthy with avocado, seeds, and tomato.

They’re creamy, perfectly seasoned, and packed with fiber, protein, and greens.

I love that they fill and fuel you without any added sugars, gluten, or oils!

These Zucchini Oats are so easy to make with the use of Cece’s Veggie Co. Zucchini Spirals.

These pre-packaged organic zucchini spirals melt into the oats while cooking,  giving them extra fiber, bulk, and greens that compliment the grains!

If you can’t find zucchini spirals near you, try subbing grated zucchini or shredded carrot instead.

Once the oats and zucchini are velvety smooth and tender, stir in a big handful of spinach and a few spoonfuls of nutritional yeast for a creamy savory and slightly “cheesy” seasoning.

Now you’re ready for toppings.

If you’re in a foodie rut, these Savory Zucchini Oats (Zoats) are sure to pull you out.

Enjoy them as an easy savory breakfast, brunch, lunch, or even dinner.

For toppings, I chose avocado, cherry tomato, sesame seeds, pepitas, and cilantro.

At first it feels totally weird to load up your oats with with seems like salad toppers, but after you try a spoonful you’ll be glad you did.

Plus, technically avocados and tomatoes are “fruit” anyway, right?

If you’re really feeling adventurous, try serving with a spoonful of tahini, because why not?

If you make these Savory Zucchini Oats (Zoats), let me know!

Be sure to leave me a comment, rating, and review so I can use your feedback to create more yams.

Description

Savory oats with zucchini spirals, spinach, avocado, and cherry tomato. Seasoned with nutritional yeast and topped with herbs and seeds. Perfect for a savory breakfast, brunch, or lunch!


Ingredients

  • 1 cup GF old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup Cece’s Veggie Co. Zucchini Spirals
  • 1 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 cup spinach
  • 2 TBSP nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • handful of cherry tomatoes, sliced
  • 2 TBSP pumpkin seeds
  • cilantro
  • Himalayan sea salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine the oats, zucchini spirals, and almond milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat until simmering, then reduce heat to medium and cook for 8-10 minutes. Add more almond milk as needed to reach desired consistency– I like mine thick!
  2. Stir in the spinach and nutritional yeast and leave on the heat on until the spinach wilts.
  3. Divide oatmeal between two bowls and top with avocado, cherry tomatoes, pumpkin seeds, and cilantro.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

Hi, I'm Lauren!
You can find me in the kitchen making healthy and creative plant-based dishes with whole foods, on my yoga mat stretching it out, or curled up with a good book and a glass of red. Searching for balanced living in an unbalanced world. I live it, eat it, drink it, write it, photograph it, and share it all here.

Pizza date night tonight? 🙋‍♀️This VEGGIE Pizza date night tonight? 🙋‍♀️This VEGGIE LOVER’S FLATBREAD PIZZA is new on the blog today! 🍕In the post I share how M and I have never been on a *real* date and how we make up for that by doing dinner date-night ins. One of our favorite things to make together lately is homemade plant-based pizza! 😄 This vegan and grain-free pizza is made easily with @bobsredmill NEW Grain-Free Flatbread Mix! I love this new flatbread mix, guys!!! You can make it vegan easily with a flax egg. Bake it up then add pizza sauce, vegan cheese, and your fav toppings for a fun plant-based pizza night in! ☺️
-
You can make the recipe into one large pizza or two smaller personal pizzas (which is what we typically do so we can go wild with our own toppings). I went traditional veggie lover’s with mine but you can add any toppings that sound good. I’m a huge pineapple pizza lover whereas M thinks pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza. 🤣 Grab the full recipe via the link in my profile and let me know what you think!
