Light and fluffy flour-free pancakes made with oats, zucchini, and chocolate chips, offering a moist texture and subtle sweetness perfect for breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats (150g)
  • 1 medium zucchini, grated and squeezed dry (about 1 cup or 120g)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¾ cup milk (dairy or plant-based, 180ml)
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips (60g)
  • Butter or neutral oil, for greasing the pan

Instructions

  1. Place 1 ½ cups of old-fashioned oats in a blender or food processor. Pulse 8-10 times until oats reach a coarse flour consistency, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
  2. Shred 1 medium zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture, about 3 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, mash 1 ripe banana until smooth. Add 2 large eggs and ¾ cup milk, whisking until combined. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. To the oat flour, add 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional), and ¼ teaspoon salt. Mix well.
  5. Add the dry mix to the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Fold in the drained zucchini and ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to hydrate oats.
  6. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Spoon about ¼ cup batter per pancake onto the skillet, spreading slightly.
  7. Cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Flip carefully and cook another 2-3 minutes until golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter.
  8. Serve pancakes warm with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit or maple syrup.

Notes

Squeeze zucchini thoroughly to avoid soggy batter. Rest batter for 5 minutes to hydrate oats. Cook on medium heat to avoid burning or undercooking. Use mini chocolate chips for even melting. Flip pancakes only once. Adjust batter thickness with milk or oat flour as needed.
