I made these today, and they were delicious. I didn’t have onions so I used a couple of garlic cloves, and I used almond flour instead. Will definitely make these again!

I was looking for a recipe to use some zucchini and I didn’t want the traditional saute. I came across this recipe and tried it last night. I was very surprised by ow similar these were to traditional “latkes” or potato pancakes. I used organic oat flour instead of whole wheat and I used 2 green onions, I will add cayenne pepper or other spice next time for more flavor. Even the boyfriend who traditionally is not a fan of the healthier dishes commented “These don’t taste bad, they would be goo for breakfast with eggs!” That is a rave review if you knew my boyfriend … Thank you for the recipe. I will be making this again and again.

I have to tell you, I put my husband in charge of making these for dinner last night before I got home from work. He made them and they tasted all right, not like I’d expected though and I asked him if he used the whole zucchini (it was rather large), he said yes. Later that night I was going through the crisper making lunches for today when I found the zucchini (we only had 1). Apparently my husband doesn’t know the difference between zucchinis and cucumbers because last night we ate cucumber pancakes LOL!

How funny I last commented on this over a year ago. I was craving these and just made them for dinner. They are so good! Just thought I’d let you know since I had to pull up the recipe anyway. :)

I just made these! One of my zucchini was bad when I cut into it so I grated a small red potato and added it to the zucchini I had. Delicious and I will definitely be making them again!

first I want to say this recipe looks delicious and i so wanted to make it….however i used the last of my zucchini on the healthy beefaroni last night ( i love that dish and make several servings at a time and scoop it into tupperware by the serving for my lunches…its so good i can eat it everyday!) but I still loved this idea and wasn’t gonna let it get me down that i didnt have the zucchini so i grated up an apple (as thats all i really had that might grate well)and just used fiber one pancake mix (3 points) and sprinkled in some cinnamon then took the advice of a another commenter and used applesauce over them….it was so yummy! but i do have zucchini on my shopping list (its one of my fav filler veggies and works as a filling food on the momentuem ww plan!

i love your site and get on it like everyday and i got my mom hooked too! I love your search by ingredent! And I have told everyone at ww about it! You are so genius and we have the same taste….everything you make sounds great!

Can’t wait to try these over the weekend. I am going to try Jewish style with home made apple sauce or Fat Free Sour cream. So it isn’t quite Potato Latkes but it is close.

I made this a couple of weeks ago and they were DElicous! yum yums. but they weren’t pretty like yours, which is sad. luckily they didn’t last long enough for me to dwell. i think my batter somehow ended up too soup-y. maybe cuz i didn’t have whole-wheat flour? i dunno- but i was also very inspired by your pizza wontons and i put a little spin on them-
i sliced some figs and put one ’round’ in the center of the wrapper, mixed 1 oz. of gorgonzola with 2 tbs. FF cream cheese, them spooned a dollop of that onto the fig slice, added one dot of honey to the top of that, then pinched the wrapper shut, spray with pam, bake at 350 for about 10 min.

holy yummy fancy pizza bites. you can do the same with goat’s cheese. the mixing with FF cream cheese saves alot of points…

thanks for all your great recipes and your motivation! i love your videos. i will be trying the zucchini fries tonight :-)

I made these last weekend and they turned out great! DH wasn’t so fond of them, neither were my toddlers. I guess it’s one of those things you either love or hate.

I made these last night for dinner, and they were super yummy! A good way to use up some of the zucchini from my garden. I was craving something sweet, so I left out the salt, pepper and onion, and added a little cinnamon and nutmeg. Then I drizzled some real maple syrup on top, and they were amazing! :)

JoAnne – You’re right, I upped the time a bit, not sure what I was thinking. As for corn, I haven’t tried but I have a similar recipe using Spaghetti squash…

Hi,I was wondering if anyone thinks that you could do someting similiar like the zucchinni pancakes but with corn,almost like a fritter.Any ideas? By the way I tried the recipe,was really good,just needed to be cooked a little longer than a couple of minutes. I suggest keeping it low and putting a cover on the pan.

Yum! I have an abundance of zucchini right now. The kids are over zucchini bread (so are my thighs) and I’m tired of crudites.

Another zucchini/summer squash recipe for you riffed off one from Self magazine:

Cook a pot of whole wheat pasta. I like linguini with this recipe.

Saute 1 garlic clove in 2 tsp of olive oil in a nonstick pan. When it starts to get brown (but before it burns), pull it out of the pan and discard (you just need it to flavor the oil). When you take it out, dump in 1/2 sliced red onion and a sliced zucchini and a sliced summer squash. Saute until the onions become translucent and then throw in a pint of cherry tomatoes (1/2 the tomatoes). Let that cook down. Get about 1/4 cup of the pasta water and put that in your pan with a chicken boiullon cube (or you could use 1/4 cup chicken stock). Splash some half-and-half over the whole thing and let it cook down until the veggies are the consistency you like. Serve over pasta. It makes a TON of sauce for very few points. Even hubby who is anti-pasta sauces made with veggies loves it.

Hey Roni, I tried baking these tonight and wanted to let you know. I looked at some other recipes online (not diet friendly ones at all) but found a baked zucchini cake recipe that said to cook at 350 for 40 minutes flipping once so that was my plan. I prepared everything just as your recipe said…then I got impatient and forgot to preheat the oven so I had to cook them a bit longer than the 40 minutes. But I think 350 would work for 40 minutes if you preheated it. I turned it on broil for the last couple minutes. They turned out great!!

THANK YOU for all of the zucchini recipes! Every summer I have no idea what to do with all of our squash and it ends up rotting. I tried these pancakes and loved them! What a wonderful idea!

Seeing this recipe made me take a trip in the way back machine and remember when Mom would make this for dinner. I will have to try this recipe out. They look delicious.
