Snickerdoodle cookie season may be over, but not for me! Warm, cinnamon-y, and full of that familiar holiday comfort.
Recently, The Oatmeal Artist made a recipe that reminded me how quickly time goes by.
In no time at all, it will be Christmas again.
Seriously.
My Dad and I always talk about this every time Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s is over. Time goes by in the blink of an eye, and pretty soon we’ll be hauling out the tree again!
But for now, let’s focus on summer!
And this delicious recipe.
All you have to do is blend everything up, bake it, top with cinnamon, and voila. So simple!
Here’s what you’ll need:
-Peeled and diced zucchini
-Milk of choice
-Greek yogurt
-Liquid Egg Whites
-Applesauce
-Peanut Butter (trust me, but you can omit)
-Butter and vanilla extract!
Feel free to follow The Oatmeal Artist’s recipe if this doesn’t serve you well. Remember, it’s your breakfast!
