I really liked the idea of these, but was a little unsure about what to do with the zucchini. After reading jellie's review I was a little paranoid and so ended up processing my zucchini so finely it was almost pulp - I then squeezed it dry. I used only 1 cup of this 'pulp' but it was a bit too fine. I think a texture somewhere in between the 2 extremes would work fine, then use 2 cups (but very lightly packed). I added a little extra flax and cinnamon, and extra baking powder because they didn't rise very well. The flavour was nice, but the pancakes were quite cold by the time I'd finished cooking a half batch. Next time I might add a little less zucchini or a little more flour/flax. They definitely have potential though. BF who said "there's no way I'm eating zucchini in pancakes" actually quite liked them.

Great recipe for sneaking all those healthy things into a food the kids love! I followed the recipe exactly, added all the "optionals". My shredded zucchini was frozen, thawed and gently squeezed dry, and worked fine. The only thing I would change is to add salt. Probably a 1/2 tsp. I also made my pancakes bigger than a 1/4 cup batter and made 6. We topped with maple syrup and applesauce. Thanks~
