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 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.
Let me know if you try them… I am sure you will love them!
I really must give these a try! They look fantastic!
OMG they look incredible. I was just looking for an american style pancake so I am lucky to have stumbled upon your recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Those look so light and airy and perfect!!! And if they count as a serving of veggies, all the better. I may make them for every meal! 😉
And absolutely make my mouth watered!!! Can’t wait to try this:)
Wow, you are all about the zucchini lately!!!! These sound awesome!
I know right? And we still have 15 zucchini left! 🙂
Hi Amanda! I love your blog. 🙂 I tried this recipe this morning – so happy to have another way to use up the zucchini! I couldn’t get them to look as beautiful as yours, but they tasted delicious! I might try and tweek the recipe to add whole wheat flour, but I was really happy with it. Thank you!
Now I intrigued. Will try them out over the weekend.
I made zucchini pancakes but my had a totally different texture. I think I like yours more, I’m curious if a taste was different as well.
Mmmmm. I have a pancake-lover in my family. Will have to give these a try!
We’ll be trying these 🙂 I make zucchini waffles–using the zucchini bread recipe but making them in the waffle iron instead of heating up the oven on those hot days & MMMmmm! You get the edge on every piece instead of just the ends of the loaf! I usually double the amount of zucchini my recipe calls for just to get more veggies in & make it stretch….we like these w butter…hubby adds syrup, too
