Cheesy Carrot and Zucchini Pancakes

August 7, 2018 in Dinner, Savoury, Savoury Lunchbox Treats
Cheesy Carrot and Zucchini Pancakes by Hey Little Sweet Thing

I feel like if I add the word “pancakes” to anything, there’s a tiny chance that Izzy might try something new! Having been sick with a tummy bug for the last few days, I whipped up a batch of our fave Cheesy Carrot and Zucchini Pancakes in hopes she would eat something!

She, of course, surprised me by demolishing 6 of them and then proceeded to say “Mama, I think my body likes carrot again!”. FUCK YES!!!!!

Cheesy Carrot and Zucchini Pancakes are not only a great way to attempt to sneak in some extra veg because.. pancakes.. but they’re also super quick and easy to whip up. They make for a perfect lunch or dinner and can even be popped into the lunchbox or had as a snack.

If you’re a tad short on time, you can cook them a few hours ahead of lunch or dinner and nuke them in the microwave when it’s time to eat. If you are cooking ahead of time, let them cool before popping them into an airtight container and chucking them in the fridge!

You may have noticed that I NEVER peel my veg unless I absolutely have to. Most of the nutrients in carrots and zucchinis are in or just below the skin. By peeling them, your stripping away vitamins, mineral and fibre. I give all of our fruit and veg a good soak in baking soda and water before rinsing them off and popping them in the fridge. This helps to get rid of any residual chemicals. Before I use them for cooking, I give them another wash under the tap and cut off any bad bits and we’re good to go!

If you’re wanting to take them up a notch, pop a few Cheesy Carrot and Zucchini Pancakes onto a plate and top with a slice of bacon, poached egg and a few slices of avo. SO GOOD and it makes for a jam-packed protein filled breakfast, lunch or dinner.

ENJOY!
