Ingredients
  • 5 med. zucchini, shredded (makes about 4 cups)
  • 1½ tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • Coconut oil to cook with
Instructions
  1. Grate Zucchini

  4. Fold towel over the zucchini pile and squeeze over the sink until all the liquid is out of the squash.
  5. Place in a dry bowl
  6. Add coconut flour, egg, and maple syrup, fold together
  7. Add lemon juice, nutmeg, cinnamon, and walnuts
  8. Combine until mixed evenly
  9. Heat a large skillet over med-low heat
  10. Melt 2 Tbsp coconut oil in pan
  11. Form a handful of the zucchini mixture into a ball (about ¼ cup) with your hands
  12. Place in the pan and flatten into a patty
  13. Fit enough patties in the pan to fill the bottom without touching each other
  14. Cook each side 3 to 5 minutes or until nicely browned
  15. Repeat until you have used all the mixture
  16. Let pancakes cool on a cooling rack to prevent them from being soggy.
