Chocolate Zucchini Oat Bran

A giant healthy bowl of chocolate goodness? Yes! See instructions for variation ideas. I use gluten-free oat bran.

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 1
• Yields: 1 big bowl!

Ingredients

• 3 -4  ounces  shredded zucchini

• 2 -4  tablespoons  unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 3⁄4 cups water (or liquid of choice, dairy, soymilk, etc)

Directions

1. Mix everything in a big microwave safe bowl.
2. Microwave on high for 5 minutes or until done, stopping to stir a few times.
3. Top with nuts, nut butters, or more chocolate!
4. Fun variations add ins: ginger and apricots, dried or fresh cranberries or blueberries, cinnamon and bacon, fresh cherries with almonds, oranges, all of the above!
5. NOTE: I actually use a tiny crock pot for this, letting it cook on the -warm- setting for about 5 hours, stirring occasionally.
