Zucchini Pancakes

They are light.

They are fluffy.

They are sweet and they are filling.

They are everything I wanted in a pancake but never thought I could achieve with the addition of zucchini.  I finally found the perfect recipe!

Zucchini PancakesZucchini for Pancakes

My zucchini was large, so I chose to do a rough peel. (Removing most of the dark green skin)  This means that you cannot see the zucchini as much. I did not drain my zucchini as the larger they get, the dryer they are. If you are using a small zucchini, you may want to drain out some of the excess moisture.

I told my kids I was making zucchini pancakes, but if I hadn’t told them I don’t think they would have been the wiser!

I also opted to only use butter on mine.  We used organic syrup on the kids, but only a small amount.  The pancakes are so sweet you almost don’t need syrup!  Almost.

  1. I just found these yummy sounding pancakes! Do you have any guesstimate on nutritional values? I’m trying to cut back on carbs and was wondering how these Zucchini Pancakes compare to regular Pancakes. 🥞😄🥞

  2. I love the fresh taste of zucchini in everything. Wouldn’t these be delish with whole wheat flour and cinnamon? I’ll try both ways this weekend.

  3. Been making zucchini pancakes for years by using boxed pancake mix. First I grate the zucchini and add an egg. Then I add the pancake mix until the texture looks right.
