Zucchini Pancakes


  • 1 C. all purpose flour
  • 1/2 C.  whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 C. shredded zucchini (about one medium zucchini)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 Tb. light agave nectar
  • 1 1/4 C. whole milk
  • 1/4 C. vegetable oil
  • 1 C. mini chocolate chips



In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients.  Add the shredded zucchini and toss with your hands to coat each piece with flour.  This will help the zucchini from clumping.  It should look like this-

    and then this-

     In a small bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients except for the chocolate chips.  Whisk
     until it's thoroughly combined.


    Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until everything is incorporated. 


    Add the chocolate chips and stir.



    Cook the pancakes in a skillet on medium high heat for 6-7 minutes per side.  You can tell when it's  time to flip them over when little bubbles form on the surface.
      This recipe makes 12 medium size pancakes,but can easily be doubled.  I like to make a big batch on a Sunday and then freeze them in a Ziploc bag for easy breakfast all week long- you just need to pop them in the microwave. 
      See?  All full of fiber and none the wiser-
