Here is the next installment in my Pancakes series, in honour of Stampede week in our city!
I served these last night for Backwards Dinner! I do that sometimes, I’m crazy like that. ha ha
With the hubby out stampeding, dinners are a little relaxed. Maybe a lot relaxed? ;)
My kids really enjoyed them, and they aren’t really big fans of zucchini!
These pancakes are hearty, dough-y, and have extra nutrition with the added zucchini and oats.
Zucchini Bread Pancakes
1 cup oats
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
3/4 cup sour cream
3/4 cup milk
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup melted butter
1 small zucchini, grated
- Grate the zucchini. Then between a towel, squeeze out as much liquid as you can.
- Combine oats, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl combine sour cream, milk, eggs, vanilla and butter. Mix. Add zucchini.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry. Combine.
- On a medium heat preheated griddle, scoop 1/4 cup of the batter for each pancake.
Tip!
I used a small zucchini. My thoughts on this are, the more zucchini you use, and the less you wring it out, the more mushy your pancakes will be. So the amount of zucchini you use, is up to you… If you would like them more dry, I would suggest half of a small zucchini.
These pancakes go really well with syrup, but they are the BEST with a cinnamon-sugar shake!
Shake it, shake it!

Zucchini is one of my favs! I have never tried it in pancakes..but this sounds interesting! Yeay for pancake week!

Thank you so much for stopping by Cast Party Wednesday last week. I really appreciate you sharing your recipes with us. I hope you will join us again for another awesome party filled with yummy recipes.
Thanks Again!
I’m making these for dinner tonight–so excited to try them out! Thanks for the recipe!
I just found your blog, and I’ll be following. I may also be making these pancakes for dinner since I can’t think about much else! Thanks.
How much is one small zucchini? I have a huge one that I need to use… 1 cup? Thanks!
I would say 1 cup sounds about right – so measure out one cup grated, then squeeze it out so your pancakes aren’t too soggy! I hope they turn out for you!

Are the oats required?
