Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons

    chia seeds


  • 1/4 cup

    water


  • 2 cups

    rolled oats


  • 1/3 cup

    raisins


  • 1 teaspoon

    baking powder


  • 1 teaspoon

    ground cinnamon


  • 1/2 teaspoon

    ground nutmeg


  • 1 pinch

    sea salt


  • 1 1/4 cups

    grated zucchini


  • 2 cups

    plain, unsweetened almond milk


  • 1/4 cup

    smooth almond butter


  • 1 teaspoon

    vanilla extract


  • 2/3 cup

    chopped pecans or walnuts


  • 1/4 cup

    maple syrup


  • 2 tablespoons

    coconut oil, slightly melted


  • 1 teaspoon

    cinnamon

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 375F. Grease a 10″ skillet or an 8″x10″ pan with some coconut oil.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the chia seeds (or ground flax) and water. Set aside for at least 10 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients (oats, raisins, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt). Then, stir in the shredded zucchini. In another bowl, combine all the wet ingredients (milk, almond butter, chia egg, vanilla). In another small bowl, combine nuts, maple syrup, coconut oil and cinnamon.
  4. Sprinkle the dry mixture into the greased skillet/pan. Pour the wet mixture over the dry mixture and give the pan a couple shakes and bang it on the counter to ensure it is all evenly distributed. Now, evenly pour the nut/syrup mixture over the top. Add a few extra whole pecans on top if you wish.
  5. Bake at 375F for 30-35 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
  6. Serve warm with some extra milk, a sprinkle of cinnamon and a scoop of almond butter if desired
