Ingredients
  

1 medium zucchini, grated (about 1 cup)

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for a gluten-free option)

1 cup milk (or almond milk)

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cooking oil (for the skillet)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zucchini: Start by washing the zucchini thoroughly. Grate it using a box grater or a food processor. If the zucchini is very watery, squeeze out some of the excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Add the grated zucchini to this mixture and stir until well combined.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Fold gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay!

          Preheat the Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking oil.

            Cooking the Pancakes: Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until you see bubbles forming on the surface. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown.

              Keep Warm: If making multiple pancakes, you can keep the cooked ones warm in a low oven (around 200°F / 95°C) while you finish cooking the rest.

                Serve and Enjoy: Serve the pancakes warm topped with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, yogurt, nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
