Delicious Deceptions!

As many moms know, most toddlers are PICKY! Getting your child to eat their veggies can be a chore and make mealtime a battle. My toddler typically refuses almost anything green and I am constantly looking for ways I can disguise all the nutritious stuff I want her to eat, with something that she loves. My most recent creation was concocted when I had some Zucchini that I wanted to use up, and I wanted to feed my kids something healthy without having a major meltdown. Voila! Zucchini Pancakes!

It may sound weird at first, but I promise you it was so yummy!  I had experimented with other fruits and veggies before other than the typical Apples, berries or bananas and used sweet potatoes and butternut squash which are actually quite good also. The zucchini adds the perfect combination of sweet and savory, especially with maple syrup on top. The kids loved it and so did my husband and I.

To make about 4-6 pancakes (depending on the size)

1 Cup flour
1Tbs Sugar
1 Cup Water
1 Tbs. Oil (I like Coconut)
1 Egg
1/4 tsp. Salt
2 tsp Baking Powder
1 Medium Zucchini
Cinnamon or Pumpkin Pie Spice

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl except for the Zucchini and Cinnamon/Spice. The Zucchini can be either shredded in a food processor or you can make a puree in a blender/baby food cooker. Add the Zucchini and a few dashes of Cinnamon/Spice to the pancake batter. You may need to add a little bit of water to thin it out a bit because the Zucchini can dry out the mix. Once that is done you are ready to make them and serve! Enjoy!
