- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Wash the zucchini thoroughly and grate it finely to release its natural moisture.
- In a bowl, combine the grated zucchini with the oats, mixing well until the moisture from the zucchini helps bind the oats together.
- Using your hands, shape the mixture into small, soft patties that are suitable for baby finger foods.
- Place the patties on a baking tray (using a silicone mat or lightly greased foil if available, as these do not introduce additional ingredients) and bake for 12-15 minutes until they are set on the outside while remaining soft inside.
- Allow the patties to cool completely to a safe temperature before serving.
