Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup zucchini shredded
  • 1 1/2 cups oat flour
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk, egg, honey, oil, vanilla, and zucchini. Mix well to combine. In a separate bowl, sift together the remaining ingredients and gradually add to the zucchini mixture. Gently stir until just combined, be careful not to over mix!
  • Lightly spray a skillet with non-stick spray and heat on medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan. Cook about 3 to 4 minutes, or until pancakes begin to bubble in the center. Carefully flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Once cooked, remove the pancake from the pan and repeat the process until all the batter has been used. Grease the skillet as needed with non-stick spray in-between cooking the pancakes.
  • Serve hot, if desired top with maple syrup, honey, coconut butter, fresh fruit, or your favorite jam!

  1. I would add that the almond milk should be room temperature or slightly warmer so the melted oil and honey does not solidify.

    1. Definitely agree with CHW–I’ve made bunches of recipes that call for melted coconut oil, so I’d already learned that lesson, but yes! For anyone new to melted coconut oil in recipes, make sure the other wet ingredients are at least at room temp if you don’t want to deal with clumps! This recipe is excellent! Thank you for sharing.5 stars
