Are you hungry? Cause I made you breakfast. Or dessert, whatever floats your boat. And it’s pancakesssss.

Pancakes loaded to the rafters with chocolate chips. I speak conservatively in this recipe when I say to add 3/4 cup chocolate chips. Because really, do you think that I put less than a whole cup of chocolate chips in these pancakes?

You know me too well.

Okay if you’ve made it this far into this post then I think it’s safe to assume that your curiosity for zucchini in pancakes is winning over the part of your brain that is saying, um ewe veggies do not belong in pancakes. Because this veggies belongs in these pancakes. Cross my heart you will not even taste the zucchini and the moist fluffiness that it adds is by far worth the two minutes you’re gonna spend grating the zucchini.
