Ingredients
  

1 medium zucchini, grated and excess moisture squeezed out

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup oat flour (or blended rolled oats)

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

2 large eggs

1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cooking oil or non-stick spray for frying

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, rolled oats, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well.

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract until smooth.

      Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter will be slightly thick; let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.

        Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or non-stick spray.

          Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until small bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

            Repeat with the remaining batter, adding oil to the skillet as needed.

              Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as yogurt, fresh fruits, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
