Zucchini Pancakes

Zucchini Pancakes


  • Author: Pinch of Yum
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 8-10 pancakes 1x

Description

These zucchini pancakes are light and fluffy, made with flax and honey. Perfect and healthy for a filling summer breakfast!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs, separated
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 cup coarsely shredded zucchini
  • 2 tablespoons flaxmeal

Instructions

  1. Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a mixing bowl. Beat the egg yolks.
  2. Add the egg yolks and buttermilk to the dry ingredients in the bowl and stir until just combined. Add the honey, melted butter, zucchini, and flaxmeal. Stir to combine.
  3. Vigorously whisk the egg whites and fold them into the batter. Heat a griddle to medium heat (the best setting on the stove was medium, and the best setting on my electric griddle was close to 400 degrees).
  4. Pour the batter onto the hot griddle and wait until bubbles form on the top of the pancakes and the edges look dry. Flip once, cook for another few minutes, and remove from heat. Top the pancakes with syrup and butter or my personal favorite: cottage cheese, blueberries, and honey.

Notes

If the pancakes look too thin or crooked around the outside, add 1-2 tablespoons of flour. I found this to be helpful in keeping the shape of the pancakes more uniform.
