โTIS THE SEASON for eating porridge and keeping warm.
And if youโve been on Instagram lately, youโll know that there are seemingly infinite ways to jazz up your porridge.
โAdd spirulina! Scatter dessicated coconut on top! Top it with berries!โ
But this new porridge trend is downright confusing
Introducing zoats.
Zoats โ short for โzucchini oatsโ โ is essentially porridge made with courgettes.
According to this recipe, you put oats, grated courgette, water and salt in a saucepan and let it simmer for 10 minutes. (Some other recipes call for egg whites, too.) Afterwards you add your toppings and, hey presto, you haveโฆ courgette porridge.
Some people also opt for the โovernight zoatsโ option which involves soaking courgette in oats overnight overnight and adding toppings the next morning. Er, yum.
Itโs officially been a thing since last summer after it gained popularity on, what else, Pinterest
Since then, itโs exploded in popularity and become a firm favourite among the #cleaneats contingent
Itโs apparently high in fibre, low in calories and very filling.

But what does it actually taste like?
ย
Many are adamant that itโs delicious.
But others? Not so much.
And non-zoats converts are just plain perplexed
Over on Instagram, meanwhile, itโs just a neverending stream of #zoats
We might stick to our regular Flahavanโs.
