Finely grate zucchini and place between paper towels or cheese cloth to remove excess moisture.
Add zucchini and all other oatmeal ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Stir well to combine.
Pour mixture into a lightly greased 8x8 baking pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until top is lightly golden and oats are "set".
"Icing"

Once oatmeal has cooled slightly, drizzle icing over the top.
