Ingredients
  

1 medium zucchini, grated and moisture squeezed out

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

2 large eggs

1 ripe banana, mashed

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Coconut oil or butter for cooking

Maple syrup or honey for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

In a blender or food processor, pulse the rolled oats until they reach a flour-like consistency. Transfer to a mixing bowl.

    In the same bowl, add the grated zucchini, milk, eggs, mashed banana, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.

      Sprinkle in the baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until the batter is smooth. If the batter is too thick, you can add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.

        Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of coconut oil or butter.

          Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

            Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed. Keep the pancakes warm in a low oven if desired.

              Serve warm with maple syrup or honey, and enjoy your deliciously unique zucchini and oatmeal pancakes!
