Description

These light and fluffy zucchini pancakes are made with Greek yogurt, oat flour, and just a touch of natural sweetness. Packed with protein and fiber, they’re a healthy and delicious breakfast or snack option.


Ingredients

  • 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

  1. Preheat: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  2. Mix the batter: Add all ingredients to a blender or mixing bowl and blend or whisk until smooth and evenly combined.
  3. Cook: Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake. Cook for 3โ€“4 minutes or until small bubbles form on the surface.
  4. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2โ€“3 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  5. Remove the pancakes and place on a wire rack to cool slightly. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  6. 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 wellโ€”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).
