Ingredients

  • cups finely shredded fresh zucchini (, 2 - 8-inch zucchini required)
  • large egg, beaten
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or vegetable oil
  • teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or melted margarine (, for rub)
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Wash and shred zucchini on a fine shredder (DO NOT PEEL).
    2. 2
      In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs; add shredded zucchini and mix well using a fork.
    3. 3
      Add flour, sugar, salt and olive oil and stir well to blend.
    4. 4
      Finally, add baking powder and mix using a spoon (Batter consistency should be like heavy whipping cream).
    5. 5
      Preheat griddle to 425- 450°F.
    6. 6
      If using a heavy duty frying pan, heat to medium-high heat; adjust heat if necessary.
    7. 7
      Rub grill or frying pan with oil before cooking each batch of pancakes.
    8. 8
      Spoon batter onto hot griddle (about 2 tablespoons for each pancake).
    9. 9
      Cook until bubbles on the top of the pancake almost stop, about 1 1/2 minutes; turn pancake over and continue to cook for another 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until pancakes are done.
    10. 10
      When done, rub pancakes with melted butter and place in a preheated 250 F oven to keep warm until the remainder are cooked, or serve immediately.
    11. 11
      Serve with your choice of jams or syrups.
    12. 12
      Also very good with sour cream or yogurt along with your choice of jams or syrups, or you can eat them just plain.
    13. 13
      These pancakes are delicious for breakfast, brunch or just as a snack anytime.

    Awesome! Made bite-sized pancakes as a nibble for a girls night in and they went down a treat. I served them with a tomato salsa which was lovely - I love tomato and zucchini together. Wonderful recipe and I am so going to have to try this for brunch one day very soon! Thanks for sharing!

    These little pancakes were marvelous. I made them as you suggested, Uncle Bill, and served with sour cream and ranch dressing as appetizers. I can see myself using this recipe often this summer when the zucchini is is fresh from the market. Thanks for sharing a simply divine recipe.

    I wish I could give this one 10 stars. What a great recipe! We loved it. I adapted it for a diabetic using semolina flour (low glycemic index) and Splenda. The mixture was made the night before having it for breakfast and it held up perfectly. The non-diabetic had it with maple syrup and the diabetic had a blueberry sauce. What a great way to use up the garden zucchini, too. I'm putting this recipe on the "regular rotation." Thanks for posting it!
