Notes
- Leftover mini veggie pancakes are perfect for future meals! Keep them fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or flash freeze them on a tray before transferring to a freezer bag for a quick grab-and-go option.
- To bring your mini veggie pancakes back to life, simply pop them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds until warm, or for a slightly crisper edge, reheat them in a toaster oven for a few minutes.
- These versatile mini pancakes are fantastic on their own, but kids especially love dipping them in a dollop of plain Greek yogurt, a swirl of their favorite ketchup, or a zesty sriracha mayo for grown-ups!
- For the best texture, always remember to thoroughly squeeze out all the excess water from your shredded zucchini before adding it to the batter; this is key for perfectly fluffy, non-soggy mini pancakes!
