I love zucchini, and it's always fun to find new ways to use it. I added my favorite zucchini bread ingredients, cinnamon and vanilla, to a fluffy pancake recipe! If you like nuts in your quick breads, you may try adding 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to your batter.

ZUCCHINI BREAD PANCAKES
When there is an abundance of zucchini in the peak of summer, one of the best uses is to turn it into a quick bread. We've taken that delicious baked good a step further and turned it into pancakes. The batter comes together quickly and you can feel good about eating zucchini for breakfast. Make sure you wring out as much water from the shredded zucchini as possible to prevent the pancakes from getting soggy.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F and set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.
- Spread the walnuts in a single layer on another rimmed baking sheet. Bake, shaking halfway through, until toasted and fragrant, about 35 minutes. Let cool, then chop. Do not turn off the oven.
- Meanwhile, line a medium bowl with a kitchen towel. Grate the zucchini in a food processor using the grater attachment to yield 2 cups (see Cook's Note). Transfer the grated zucchini to the towel-lined bowl and gather the sides to make a bundle. Squeeze out as much liquid from the zucchini as possible. Discard the liquid and set the zucchini aside.
- Whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and kosher salt in another medium bowl.
- Whisk together the buttermilk, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla and egg in a large bowl. Stir in the grated zucchini. Fold in the flour mixture until just combined. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil. Ladle 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet to make a pancake (the batter is fairly thick, so you may need to spread it a bit). Make 1 or 2 more pancakes, taking care to space them apart evenly. Cook until the edges begin to brown and bubbles break the surface of the pancakes, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to prepared rack and place in the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
- Serve the pancakes warm with salted butter, the toasted chopped walnuts and maple syrup.

Steps:
- Grate zucchini on the largest holes of a grater into a colander and combine well with salt. Let zucchini drain 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 200°F.
- Using hands, squeeze as much liquid from zucchini as possible. In a bowl stir together zucchini, onion, egg, bread crumbs, and pepper to taste until combined well.
- Lightly brush a 12-inch non-stick skillet with oil and heat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Drop four 1/8-cup measures of zucchini mixture into skillet and with a spatula flatten into 1/4-inch-thick pancakes. Cook pancakes 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through, transferring pancakes to an ovenproof plate. Keep pancakes warm in oven while making more pancakes in same manner.
Tips:
- Use fresh zucchini. Fresh zucchini has a higher water content than older zucchini, which will help to make your pancakes moist and fluffy.
- Grate the zucchini finely. This will help to distribute the zucchini evenly throughout the pancakes and prevent them from becoming too dense.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the pancakes tough.
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle. This will help to prevent the pancakes from sticking and burning.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat. This will help to ensure that the pancakes cook evenly throughout.
- Serve the pancakes immediately. Zucchini bread pancakes are best served warm, with your favorite toppings.
Conclusion:
Zucchini bread pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They are a great way to use up leftover zucchini, and they are also a healthier alternative to traditional pancakes. Try experimenting with different toppings and fillings to find your favorite way to enjoy zucchini bread pancakes.
