Pancake Time--Zucchini Oat Flour Pancakes, that is!
Oatmeal is NOT just meant to be eaten in a bowl. Oat flour can make some AMAZING pancakes. (and gluten free for those who may need it!)
The gardens are bursting with fresh zucchini. Needless to say, get ready for lots of recipes with zucchini in them. Not to mention jalapeños and yellow squash.
Zucchini bread has always always always been my very favorite. My grandma's recipe that I grew up on is still my favorite version ever. Nothing tops it. And now I can enjoy this in a whole new way, as pancakes.
I was a bit unsure whether these zucchini bread oat flour pancakes would work out but oh my goodness, they were incredible. Fluffy perfection!
This is my favorite base for pancakes and makes them hearty and dense. The oatmeal does that. And veggies in pancakes? No one will complain, or at least I hope not!
So now you have a way to sneak some veggies into even your pancakes!
Notes and Tips:
- You can use oats as well to make the flour so that is always nice to have the option. You will need to use about 1 ⅔ cups rolled oats or so to get the right amount.
- You can make these oat flour pancakes dairy free. I have used almond milk many times when making these as well and they still turned out nice and fluffy.
- For a basic oatmeal pancake, just skip the zucchini and make them as is without it. Still great!
