🌿 Ingredients (Makes ~8 Pancakes)

2 medium zucchini, grated and squeezed dry
4 Kakadoodle eggs
1/2 cup almond flour
1 tbsp ground flaxseed (optional, for added fiber and omega-3s)
1 tbsp grated Parmesan
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp baking powder
Butter or avocado oil, for cooking

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Prep the Zucchini
Grate zucchini and use a clean towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This helps the pancakes stay crisp and not soggy.
Mix the Batter
In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, eggs, almond flour, flaxseed (if using), Parmesan, mozzarella, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and baking powder. Stir until well mixed.
Cook the Pancakes
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of Kakadoodle butter or avocado oil.
Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of batter per pancake into the pan and flatten slightly with a spatula.
Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and firm in the center.
