Zucchini Bread Pancakes

Ingredients1. c all purpose flour
3/4 c. whole wheat flour
1 tsp salt
4 tsp baking powder
3 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg (we didn't have so I used a sprinkle of ginger)
1 1/2 c. milk
2 eggs
2 c. zucchini, shredded
1 tsp vanilla
3 Tbsp butter, melted

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients: flour, salt, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In another bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, zucchini, vanilla, and melted butter. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until well-combined.
2. Coat a griddle with butter or spray with cooking spray and set to medium-high heat. Drop 1/4 c. of batter onto the griddle; cook 1-2 minutes on each side, until brown and cooked through.

Pancakes

Got up this morning with pancakes on our minds, only to find that we didn't have any mix. I was bummed and thinking about making something else, but Kyle thought to look up a recipe online and see if we could make them from scratch..and that's just what we did! So here it is...

2 cups flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. (we used a little less) salt
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 1/2 cups milk
1 egg
3 Tbsp. oil
and a little vanilla
**plus chocolate chips, of course!

...and they were delicious! Score one for the home team, no more pancake mix for us! This made over a dozen good size pancakes, and I even made a few with different things inside- nuts and coconut today, although if I had been thinking ahead, I could have thawed out some berries we have in the freezer (for our favorite spring/summertime treat, smoothies) and put them in. Oh well, maybe next time! Until then!
