Zucchini Bread Pancakes are a perfect summer breakfast and a great way to use up some of those garden veggies! I can’t think of a better way to start a Saturday. Hot fluffy buttermilk paNCAKESSSSS!!!! [Oprah voice] Shredded zucchini in pancakes works a lot like shredded zucchini in bread. It’s moist, it’s sweet, and it’s happy to be covered in brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Oh! I forgot to tell you about the pecans! I added pecans to the batter. The crunch is perfect.

How To Make zucchini bread pancakes

  • 1
    In a large bowl whisk together the flours, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  • 2
    2Pour in the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla.
  • 3
    Stir until just combined, making sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl so there are no pockets of dry mix.
  • 4
    Stir in the shredded zucchini and pecans.
  • 5
    Heat a griddle or skillet over medium high heat (I usually set the electric griddle to about 375 degrees)
  • 6
    I like to butter the griddle for pancakes. It gives them a slight buttery crisp on top.
  • 7
    Pour the batter onto the griddle to make your pancakes.
  • 8
    I find that a 1/4 cup measure works perfectly for scooping batter and pouring.
  • 9
    Let the first side cook until bubbles appear.
  • 10
    Flip and cook on the second side for 1-2 minutes. Repeat until you've used all the batter.
  • 11
    Serve with butter and syrup!
  • 12
    NOTE Make sure you zucchini is shredded finely so that it will break down in the cooking process.

    I don't peel my zucchini. I love the green. But it's a matter of preference. You can peel yours if you'd like.
