Snickerdoodle Cookie Baked Oatmeal

Today marks my first official day of summer vacation unemployment. It’s true: I’m no longer teaching. If you’ve been following my blog closely for more than six months, you probably don’t need an explanation. You only have to browse a few posts from the past year to infer why I’m leaving the classroom.

I’d love to say I’m full-time blogging now, but that is not (and probably never will be) the case. Boo. I have my sights set on something else, but I’ll wait until that (maybe) pans out before I discuss it on here. In the meantime, hooray for mental health!

After the delicious success of the cookie batter version, I decided to make a baked version of my favorite cookie. Pureed zucchini FTW!

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Yield: serves 1

What you'll need:

  • 1/2 cup's worth of peeled and diced zucchini
  • 1/4 cup milk of choice, or water
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (I use Country Choice Organic)
  • 2 tsp maple syrup (adjust to preferences)
  • 1/8 tsp butter extract (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

How to make it:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F and spray a single-serving ramekin with non-stick spray.
  2. Puree all ingredients (except cinnamon and sugar) together in a food processor until it forms a batter.
  3. Transfer to a ramekin. Dust the top with cinnamon and sugar (you only need a pinch of each).
  4. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the top is no longer doughy. Feel free to top with more cinnamon or sugar. Enjoy! 🙂
