Zucchini Bread Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 medium zucchini, coarsely grated (about 1 cup unpacked grated zucchini)
- 6 tablespoons coconut sugar , for sugar-free, use ¼ cup xylitol
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil or another mildly flavored oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/3 cups unsweetened almond or cashew milk
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 4 teaspoons ground flaxseed
- 2 cups Ricki’s All Purpose Gluten-Free Flour Mix, see recipe at right (or any all-purpose gluten-free flour that measures one-to-one for wheat flour)
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt Coconut oil or gluten-free nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
- 2/3 cup chopped walnuts or dairy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the zucchini, sugar, oil, vanilla, milk, vinegar, and flaxseed. Allow to sit for 5 minutes then stir well to dissolve the sugar.
- Into the bowl, sift the flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir to combine. Fold in the chocolate chips or walnuts.
- Heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat and grease lightly with oil or spray with cooking spray. Using a large ice cream scoop or 1/3-cup measuring cup, scoop the batter (it will be fairly thick) into the pan to form pancakes. If necessary, use a spatula to spread out the batter. Cook until the tops are dry and edges are beginning to brown, 4-5 minutes. Gently flip and cook another 2-4 minutes on the other side. Keep warm until all the pancakes are ready. (May be frozen. Defrost by popping the frozen cakes in the toaster and toasting to heat through.)
