Coconut Zucchini Pancakes

These SWEET pancakes are the perfect way to start your day. Not only are they delicious, but they have VEGGIES in them too! PinchofYum.com had a YUMMY sounding recipe for Sweet Zucchini Pancakes that I used as the base of the recipe, but I made a few little changes. I think they turned out FAB for sure!

Coconut Zucchini Pancakes

1/2 cup all purpose flour

3 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 egg, beaten

1/2 cup greek yogurt

2 tablespoons melted butter

1/4 cup milk

1/2 cup grated unpeeled zucchini

2 to 3 tablespoons coconut

2 to 3 tablespoons mini semisweet chocolate chips (optional)

Preheat a nonstick skillet to medium or medium-high heat.

Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl first, then stir in the wet ingredients. Fold in the zucchini, coconut, and mini chips.

Scoop some batter onto the heated pan and gently spread if necessary.  When you see bubbles rising around the edges, flip the pancakes. These pancakes may cook a little longer than other pancakes, so just watch them and don’t let them burn! Top with butter and maple syrup.

TIP: The consistency of these pancakes is just a little different than other pancakes. Again, just make sure to watch them while they are cooking. I'm sure these would be fantastic with coconut syrup or even a little chocolate syrup drizzled over top with some whipped cream!
