If you’ve yet to cross over to the savory side of oats, you are in for a pleasant surprise. This dish has an enjoyable creaminess and a hint of garlic that really ties it all together. This is a great way to sneak some zucchini into your family’s diets as well as some healthy fats and protein. This Savory Zucchini Oatmeal recipe can also be found in my cookbook “The Vegetarian Family Cookbook”.
You might be skeptical about eating your morning oats in a savory fashion, but let me to tell you, they are absolutely fabulous! The subtle hint of garlic paired with zucchini, cheese, eggs and avocado is an absolute match made in heaven and something I think you will find yourself craving for mornings to come.

FAQs — Recipe Variations, Tips, Storage
I’m on a dairy-free diet, can I omit the cheese?
Yes! You can omit or replace with dairy-free/vegan cheese.
Is this dish still tasty without eggs?
Yes! If you do not eat eggs, this dish is still beautifully flavorful without them.
Does this dish store well?
This dish cooks up quickly and tastes best made and served right away, but if you would like to make ahead of time, I recommend preparing it without the cheese and eggs, then storing in the airtight containers in the refrigerator. To reheat/prepare, heat on the stovetop over medium heat until warmed throughout, prepare the eggs, stir in the cheese, then top with the cooked eggs.
