Chocolate and Zucchini are combined in this Chocolate Zucchini Baked Oatmeal for an easy and delicious breakfast!
Last week I shared a recipe for Zucchini Baked Oatmeal. This week I decided to change it up slightly and add chocolate to that same basic zucchini oatmeal.
The result is another delicious baked oatmeal perfect for a summer breakfast!
It is no secret that my family and my readers love baked oatmeal. I have shared over fifteen different baked oatmeal recipes.
Baked oatmeal is a cross between a bowl of oatmeal and a dessert. The texture is totally different than a regular bowl of oatmeal.
Baked oatmeal has turned many oatmeal haters into people that loved oatmeal.
Chocolate make everything better. Or at least it makes a lot of things better.
And who doesn’t love an excuse to eat chocolate for breakfast!
