Equipment

  • 1 high speed blender
  • 1 large stovetop pan
  • 1 spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 banana
  • 1 small zucchini or 1/2 a larger zucchini
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats make sure oats are made in a gluten-free facility if on a strict gluten-free diet. You may need to add more oats if you add too much zucchini to thicken the batter. You'll know the batter is too runny if the pancakes are falling apart as you try to flip them.
  • 2 eggs

Instructions
 

  • Cut raw zucchini into 1/2 inch thick slices (to ensure the zucchini blends well).
