Directions
-
Cut the zucchini into small pieces (350 g). Rub with 1/2 tsp of salt and let it sit for 10 minutes to release excess moisture.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 egg, 40 g of sugar, 100 g of yogurt, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, and 1 tsp of baking powder. Mix well until smooth.
-
Squeeze the zucchini to remove the excess water. Blend the zucchini into a smooth mixture and add it to the bowl. Gradually mix in 150 g of oatmeal and 30 ml of olive oil to form a dough.
-
Grease a cake pan with cooking oil and pour in the dough. Shake the pan gently to level the surface. Sprinkle black sesame seeds and almonds on top for garnish.
-
Bake according to your preferred temperature and timing (suggested: 180°C/350°F for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown).
