Zucchini Cakes

Easy Recipe, very healthy and fast to make.Its great for breakfast or lunch. For Vegan Version, substitute eggs and flour for cooked oatmeal ( take dry oatmeal add hot water, boil for 2 min or let it sit for 5min, mix it with shredded zucchini and pan fry it). Turns out as good as original Recipe. 

We will need:

• 3 medium size zucchini ( i had regular green and white (note that white zucchini are a little dryer than green)
• 2 eggs
• 1/2-1 cups of flour 
• Salt and Pepper 

• Shred Zucchini
• Add eggs, flour (start with half a cup and see how it think it becomes) , salt and pepper 
• *Zucchini have a lot of water so your best bet is to shred zucchini first add salt mix it together and wait for about 5-10 min till water starts to come out, drain it and then add flour) 

• Mix Well 

• Preheat pan and add sunflower oil
• Form pancakes with fork or spoon

• Cook for about 2-3 min on each size or till golden brown on medium-high heat

• Serve with Sour Cream
• Enjoy!!!
