DEBORAH's Notes:

Great side dish. When cooked in the cooking spray, it is just 2 Weight Watchers points per serving.

Comments from the Test Kitchen:

This cooking method really brings out the natural sweetness of the squash without weighing it down with a ton of oil.

Directions

Squeeze as much liguid out of the squash by wrapping in a tea towel and ring out.

Mix all ingredients well and let set for about 5 minutes.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add small amout of oil or use cooking spray.

scoop about 1/3 cup in to the skillet and gently flatten to about 1/2 inch thick.

Cook on both sides until center is set and outside is golden brown.

I made this, but I added pancake mix instead of flour and 1 tsp baking powder....wow! Mixed zucchini and yellow squash - they disappeared so FAST!!!

They freeze well. I let them cool and then put in a ziptop bag. To reheat, I thaw and then heat in a skillet with a little oil or cooking spray.

Oh Boy! Can't wait to use my fresh zuchini on these. I'm thinkin' for breakfast as well! I'm going to use white whole wheat flour to make them healthier and stay in my eating plan.

What a great way to use up the plethora of yellow and zucchini at this time of the year.

Okay Deborah, Call me crazy (believe me you wouldn't be the first) but I enjoyed these for supper yesterday but today I microwaved them up, put one on a bun like a hamburger, added tomato and mayo and voila, a vegan hamburger. I'm not a vegan, but this was the best sandwich. Have you ever used them like that? I would appreciate any confirmation from you that I'm not crazy. Thanks.
