Notes
Eat your overnight zucchini oatmeal hot or cold. Everyone has a preference. I like to warm mine up in the microwave for about 45 seconds to one minute before eating.
If too much of the milk has been absorbed when you go to eat your oatmeal, just add an extra splash or two.
Some people like steel cut oats in their overnight oatmeal. I am not a fan as they are still super chewy and have a crunch to them even after soaking overnight. But this zucchini bread oatmeal recipe can be made with steel cut oats if you prefer.
For vegan overnight oats, use a dairy free milk. For gluten free, make sure your oats say "certified gluten free" on the package.
