• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons nutmeg (optional)
• 0.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups light brown sugar
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Wash the zucchini thoroughly and cut off the ends. Slice the zucchini into thin discs or half-moons.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, lemon juice, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (if using), and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. Toss together until the zucchini is well coated.

Step 4

Pour the zucchini mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 5

In another mixing bowl, prepare the oat crumble topping by combining the rolled oats, 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated and crumbly in texture.

Step 6

Sprinkle the oat crumble evenly over the zucchini mixture in the baking dish.

Step 7

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the zucchini is tender.

Step 8

Remove the zucchini oat crisp from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm on its own, or pair with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat. Enjoy!
