Zucchini Pancakes

Zucchini Pancakes

This is possibly one of the easiest, tastiest, quickest recipes I've ever made.

I prefer to eat this at dinner instead of at breakfast, either 1 pancake as a side or 2 pancakes for a full meal. The zucchini taste isn't too strong, so you can serve this to non-zucchini lovers and they'll never know what the secret ingredient is. This recipe is also chock full of turmeric, which has a wide range of health benefits. I love adding turmeric to everything because it's known for its powerful healing and anti-inflammatory properties.
