Healthy Greek Yogurt Zucchini Pancakes

Recipe Description

I make these Healthy Greek Yogurt Zucchini Pancakes for family breakfasts on special occasions like birthdays or first day of school holidays. These pancakes are fluffy, light, healthy and they take only a few minutes to prepare which is an added bonus!

This pancake batter is super easy to prepare but I must warn you – resist the urge to over mix! If you over mix your batter you will end up with tough, rubbery pancakes. Who has time for that?! To make these, I mix the batter together in stages. Then I simply drop spoonfuls of batter on a hot skillet and there you have it! No waiting for the batter to rest – simply mix (a little) and go! 

To make my Healthy Greek Yogurt Zucchini Pancakes, you will need the following ingredients:
