No, not fritters, but pancakes!
If you still have some zucchini in your garden, here’s another delicious recipe for you!
Zucchini Pancakes
- 2 small-medium zucchini
- 1/2 cup (60g) wholemeal flour
- 1 cup (250ml) basil leaves
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups (150g) grated cheese (parmesan/cheddar etc)
- salt and plenty of black pepper
Put everything in your food processor except the cheese, and whizz to a soft dough. Stir in the cheese. Heat a little oil in a pan and spoon dollops into the hot oil, then fry just like pancakes, turning when they start to bubble in the middle.
These taste great with a yoghurt, cucumber and dill sauce!
YUM!

Yum they look delicious!
They disappeared very quickly!
You got me–I had to look up the difference between pancakes and fritters! Every meal at your house must be a treat for the eyes as well as the mouth.
Well thank you! I do like my food to look good, but things don’t always turn out as they’re meant to!
I was just given several giant zucchinis. This will help me to use some of them up! Great sounding recipe!
Hi Trisha! Shame my zucchini are over (picked the last ones yesterday)… I may have to buy some more at the market, as this was really good!
Well, I think you may have just given me a recipe that I could actually enjoy eating zucchini!
Hi Merrill! Hope you try it! You could add any other herbs too.
Those look pretty simple and oh, so tasty! I’ve made zucchini corn fritters, but they require a whole lot more effort. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Cathy. I’ve got a hankering to try it!
You know I love simple recipes, Robin! Well this is so quick and easy, and the herbs really add that extra “something”!
For some reason I can not get zucchini to grow in my garden. Others have a plethora of them and I am jealous of their ability to grow it.
That’s a shame. Maybe they’d grow in a large container, like mine do? Hope you have a good market nearby!
Hope to get some more zukes to try this
Planted some more and they are getting their leaves. With the heat I expect a good size plants and flowers before Sept so I might get some late summer zukes. My container plants wilted in the heat and did not produce much.
Mine didn’t do quite as well this year, either. I have never tried planting a second lot, but that’s not a bad idea… by the beginning of September the heat has gone and they would probably do well. Look forward to hearing how yours perform!
Oh, my! Another good one for a Little One!
My zucchini is a real trooper this year. The worms keep chewing, but it still gives me one or two squash per week!
I’m sure you will all love these. My zucchini have gone over now, so time to tidy up a bit before sowing some spinach.
I like the sound of the yoghurt, cucumber, dill sauce. You´ve taken great pictures they look so inviting.
Thanks Simone! I’ve grown my own dill for the first time this year, and LOVE it!
These really look good, Cathy. I like zucchini and all I ever do is saute it.
Glad you like the recipe!
This is the first year I haven’t planted zucchini, and I miss it. I could have made these!
Oh no – a summer with no zucchini? Maybe there’s a neighbour with some left over…
Your pancakes look delicious – I have some zucchini and dill ready to harvest, now I know what I’ll be using them for. Thanks!
Great! I have so much dill – any other ideas what to do with it?
Great idea..I have many Zucchini bread many times and I know how good it is. Have you tried Chocolate Zucchini Cake? I lost the recipe but it was very flavorable when I made it years ago. I bet you don’t need recipes because you are such a great baker.
If I were you neighbor I would probably weigh a lot more….but I’d have a smile on my fat face.
I made a wonderful chocolate zucchini cake with walnuts last year… oh I DO need recipes! LOL! I must seek that one out…
PS If you were my neighbour I would probably bake much more often and we would both be enormous!
We love zucchini and this is something we’ve never tried. They look and sound delicious so I can’t wait to serve them for a weekend breakfast.
I hope you enjoy them! The combination with herbs and cheese is so good!
