Step 1 of 21

These are not to be confused with breakfast pancakes, so put away the maple syrup!

Step 2 of 21

You will need: zucchini, peppers, onion, pancake mix, bacon (cream cheese, salsa, cherry tomatoes and cilantro; not pictured)

Step 3 of 21

When ever I make these I think of my friend in Santa Cruz and the beautiful old Victorian house that she rented which is where I first enjoyed these healthy, savory treats.

Step 4 of 21

Grate 2 cups of zucchini

Step 5 of 21

Chop half of a yellow pepper, a red pepper and a yellow onion (half a cup each)

Step 6 of 21

Prepare mixture for 6 to 7 pancakes

Step 7 of 21

One cup buttermilk pancake mix

Step 8 of 21

3/4 cup water

Step 9 of 21

Whisk together

Step 10 of 21

Add the veggies

Step 11 of 21

Stir until blended

Step 12 of 21

Drop a ladle size scoop into slightly oiled pan over medium heat (these are not deep fried)

Step 13 of 21

Spread out flat so the batter will have more surface area to cook through

Step 14 of 21

Flip when golden

Step 15 of 21

Done after about 1 1/2 minutes each side

Step 16 of 21

Make several and set aside

Step 17 of 21

Fry some bacon (unless you are a vegetarian!)

Step 18 of 21

Plate your pancake and re-warm it in the microwave until steamy. Garnish with cream cheese, a spoon full of salsa with sliced cherry tomatoes, cilantro and a strip of bacon.

Step 19 of 21

Admire!

Step 20 of 21

Perhaps a glass of Chardonnay?

Step 21 of 21

And enjoy your tasty coffee table picnic! ~ Thank you for following my guides!

I enjoy simple pleasures like coffee table picnics, pretty flowers, and photography. Most my guides are 5 ingredients or less or semi-home made.

The pancakes look great, I trust the mix can be substituted by some flour, milk and eggs?
