Ingredients
Scale
- 1 small zucchini, shredded and excess water squeezed out
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
- 2 egg whites or 1 whole egg
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup oat flour (or whole wheat flour)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Mix the batter: Add all ingredients to a blender or mixing bowl and blend or whisk until smooth and evenly combined.
- Cook: Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake. Cook for 3–4 minutes or until small bubbles form on the surface.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2–3 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Remove the pancakes and place on a wire rack to cool slightly. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve: Enjoy warm with toppings such as fresh fruit, nut butter, or extra Greek yogurt and a drizzle of honey.
Notes
For extra protein, use two whole eggs. These pancakes freeze well—simply reheat in a toaster or skillet. You can substitute almond flour for a gluten-free version (add a bit more if needed for thickness).
