Cheesy Zucchini Pancakes

By á-77268

It was pancake Tuesday and I hadn’t planned very well. The kids were ok with the higher carb everyday pancakes but there was no way we could do it unless we wanted a huge spike after eating. I knew I had some zucchini’s in the fridge and some cheese and voila, we now had low carb pancakes that were delicious and went really nice with some breakfast sausage. Be sure to “sweat” the zucchini to help remove a lot of the water so the pancakes are not mushy.

These are high in protein, low in fat and only 2 Weight Watchers points per serving.

Ingredients

• 4 medium zucchini grated and "sweat" out
