Description

Delicious and healthy zucchini pancakes, perfect for breakfast or brunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (Feel free to substitute with whole wheat or almond flour.)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 medium zucchini, grated (Squeeze out excess moisture.)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (Plus extra for greasing the skillet.)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Wash the zucchini thoroughly and grate it using a box grater or food processor. Squeeze out excess moisture with a clean cloth.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk and olive oil. Whisk until fully combined.
  4. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in the grated zucchini gently into the batter.
  6. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat, lightly greased with olive oil.
  7. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Serve warm with your favorite toppings, like honey, maple syrup, or yogurt.

Notes

  • Ensure to squeeze out as much moisture from the grated zucchini to prevent the pancakes from being soggy.
  • These pancakes can be made ahead and reheated for a quick breakfast option.
