With out or without chocolate chips, these zucchini pancakes are a favorite breakfast recipe you will love too.
I don’t think i have shared a pancake recipe here in a long time. probably because pancakes are not exactly on my weight watchers plan. i make 0 point pancakes all the time, but i have very little willpower when it comes to a tall stack of fluffy pancakes. so they haven’t happened much around here this summer. 
But then i had the crappiest of days and found myself totally craving pancakes drowning in butter and syrup. with tomorrow being national zucchini day and a garden that is still producing the best zucchini i have ever eaten, i made myself zucchini pancakes.
The kids were not convinced that eating vegetables for breakfast was something they wanted to do. so i jacked their zucchini pancakes up with chocolate chips. kids will never say no to chocolate. even if it means eating zucchini for breakfast.
