Savoury Zoats

Last year Zoats took the fitness world by storm, and it’s now quite normal to grate courgette into bowls of breakfast oats, despite a few funny looks from family members or co-workers. This savoury porridge recipe might sound like we’ve taken the trend a step too far, but it’s a great way to keep your sweet tooth in check and tastes just like a quick, oaty risotto - perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

METHOD:

Mix a stock cube with 1 cup of boiling water and combine with oats, courgette, tamari, nutritional yeast and seasonings in a saucepan on a medium heat.

Stir gently until the oats cook and the porridge has thickened.

Add in your scoop of protein and an extra ¼ cup of water a little at a time, adjusting the amount of liquid to your personal preferences. Stir through until your oats have fully cooked.

These oats are best served with a runny poached egg, leftover vegetables and topped with soy sauce and chilli flakes.
