Baked zucchini bread oatmeal

The flavors of zucchini bread baked into your morning oatmeal! I am on a bit of a baked oatmeal kick lately. It started with the peanut butter one that I posted on a couple of weeks ago and now we are onto zucchini. With fall coming, I see many more versions (pumpkin! sweet potato! apple!) making an appearance in our kitchen and in our bellies in the near future. This time of year, many people are trying to find ways to use up their zucchinis. We love zucchini bread, and I figured that it would make a delicious baked oatmeal as well. Also, as I've mentioned before, we are always looking for meals that our twins can easily feel themselves. This method makes it easier for them to get the oatmeal into their mouths all by themselves (because they aren't fans of being spoon fed anymore). This zucchini version was a hit with all of us! We like to serve ours scooped into a bowl with a little milk, or just cut into a square for the little ones.

I decided to make it in a skillet because I love to use my cast iron skillet whenever possible, really. The biscuit is filled with Parmesan cheese, sliced fresh zucchini, and fresh basil. It's really flavorful and delicious and makes a nice light dinner or lunch with a side salad.

While it's called a pie, it reminds me more of a quiche or cake as there's no crust and it contains a few eggs. This recipe will make enough to serve about 4 people as a main dish. 

Feel free to experiment with this recipe - you can change up the veggies, herbs, and cheese to make all sorts of different flavor combinations. If you have some yellow squash, it would be lovely to replace some of the zucchini with it to vary the colors.
