Mom’s Zucchini Pancakes

  4.7 – 173 reviews  • Fried Zucchini Recipes

The ingredients of this BLT are simple and delicious: bacon, lettuce, and tomato. (These days, I substitute imitation vegetarian bacon, and the dish is still delicious!)

Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Servings: 5
Yield: 20 pancakes

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups grated zucchini
  2. 2 large eggs, slightly beaten
  3. 2 tablespoons chopped green onion
  4. 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  5. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  6. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  7. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  8. 1 pinch dried oregano
  9. 1/4 cup vegetable oil, or as needed

Instructions

  1. Blot grated zucchini with paper towels to remove moisture. Stir together zucchini, eggs, and green onion in a large bowl. Mix together flour, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, salt, and oregano in a separate bowl; stir into zucchini mixture until batter is just moistened.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drop rounded spoonfuls of zucchini batter into hot oil; pan-fry until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain pancakes on a paper towel-lined plate.

I love zucchini! Did not get a good crop this year because of the heat. This was an excellent recipe for those really big zucchini.
Monica Davis
I omitted the Parmesan, oregano and served them with sour cream and hot sauce delicious. Took them to a church meal and they were gone! I keep frozen shredded zucchini in the freezer.
Margaret Phillips
I changed a few things. Sweet onions instead of green onions. Ms Dash garlic/ herb instead of Oregano. We love this, so tasty.
Chris Lopez
These are delicious. I substituted the parmesan with feta, or you could use goat cheese, and the oregano with fresh, minced dill. I served it with a dill, onion yogurt. Savory and yummy!
Phillip Ramirez
Very good healthy pancakes. A great way to utilize an over achieving zucchini plant. I made a sweet version by omitting the green onion, parmesan, and oregano. I added 1/2 c chopped walnuts and 1 tsp of cinnamon. Serve with fresh berries or your favorite fruit.
Tabitha Donovan
Not for me. Spongy texture and flavors not great.
Robert Gomez
I used plain yogurt instead of sour cream. Delisious!
Kathleen Taylor
These were a hit for the entire family.
James Butler
I am getting ready to make this so I appreciate the reviews. One question, I want to make them ahead. What suggestions would anyone have for reheating or just eating them at room tempature.
Walter Russell
Love this recipe—have made it several times, sometimes I add twice the grated cheese, cheese me please.
Todd Guerrero
Fantastic recipe. It goes along with my keto diet very nicely. Highly recommend. It comes out perfect every time.
Brandon Fuller
left out the cheese as family has lactose intolerance, but added a bit more flour- result was wonderful! great use of too much shredded zucchini left over fro zucchini bread recipe
Rebecca Brooks
Perfect pancakes! I cooked 8 pancakes and wanted to eat them all, but stopped at 6, lol
Kyle Jacobs
I had leftover roasted butternut squash cubes, and I used them exactly as they were (not mashed) in place of zucchini, and followed the rest of the recipe exactly. Great breakfast. I like mine with a little maple syrup.
Timothy Chen
These turned out great! I added fresh minced garlic and cheddar cheese. I also added crushed red pepper flakes for a little kick.
Kyle Nash
I made these with using a gluten free flour blend. I added a tsp of xanthan gum to accommodate the lack of gluten. I also served them with a mix of sourcream and garlic, while my husband used the remainder of the tzaziki sauce from TJ’s. They were delicious and will definitely make them again soon!
Meagan Stephens
These were delicious. I made them for a family get together and they were gone. I added some shredded yellow squash and used chives from my garden instead of green onion. They turned out great and I served them with some homemade tzatziki sauce.
Anthony Merritt
Very good.
Richard Alvarado
These were delicious. I doubled the recipe, and substituted Bisquick mix for flour and baking powder. I also used yellow onion in place of green, (didn’t have any), added minced garlic and 1/2 chopped, small leek, I had left over in fridge..YUMMY!
Ryan Morrison
Love it, always good
Daniel Porter
I doubled the recipe and made 12 generous pancakes. The first batch was a little too thick, so I flatted the next batch with the spatula to be sure they cooked through. I omitted the cheese and oregano. Next time, I think I will add finely diced onion. They crisped up nicely and the family loved them. Delish served with sour cream.
