Time 34m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon flax seeds
½ cup unsweetened almond milk
1 very ripe banana, mashed
¼ cup shredded zucchini
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ½ teaspoons brown sugar baking blend (such as Truvia®)
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch sea salt
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Combine water and flax seeds in a small bowl. Refrigerate until mixture thickens and has an egg-like consistency, 15 to 30 minutes. Stir in almond milk, banana, zucchini, and vanilla extract.
  • Mix flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar baking blend, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and sea salt together in a bowl. Pour in flax mixture; stir until batter is just combined.
  • Heat a large griddle over medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Drop 1/3 cup batter onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form and bottoms are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a baking rack to cool. Repeat with remaining batter.

I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but I actually really enjoyed these pancakes. The chocolate flavor was strong enough to mask the zucchini flavor.

These pancakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think I just added too much sugar. Otherwise, they were really good.

I love the idea of these pancakes, but I found the zucchini flavor to be a bit overpowering. I think I would try using less zucchini next time.

These pancakes were good, but not great. I think I would have liked them more if they had been a little more chocolatey.

I followed the recipe exactly and my pancakes turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I was skeptical about the zucchini in these pancakes, but I was pleasantly surprised. They added a subtle sweetness and moisture that I really enjoyed. The cocoa powder gave them a rich, chocolatey flavor that was perfectly balanced by the zucchini.
