Description

If you love zucchini, try these zucchini bread inspired pancakes. If you like nuts in your quick breads, try adding 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to your batter.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup shredded zucchini
nonstick cooking spray

Directions

1 Add lemon juice to a cup of milk. Set aside until milk starts to curdle, 5 to 10 minutes.
2 Combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center. Pour in curdled milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir with a spoon or whisk until the batter is just combined. Add shredded zucchini and mix until well incorporated.
3 Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and coat with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the skillet, and cook until bubbles appear on the surface, about 2 minutes. Flip with a spatula, and cook until browned, about 2 more minutes.
