These zucchini pancakes are prepared with grated zucchini and a hint of cheddar cheese. Serve them with a dollop of sour cream. This is much easier to persuade your kids or your picky hubby to eat their veggies. And if you are growing zucchini, then this is also one very delicious way to use up a lot at once. I used the mild cheddar, which is matured about 4 months, for the recipe, but Feta, or parmesan would work great too.

- Grate the zucchini into a mixing bowl. Stir in the finely chopped shallots, eggs, cheddar, parsley, spring onion, and garlic. Stir in the buckwheat and wholewheat flours, salt, and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop tablespoons of the batter into the skillet. Cook the pancakes two minutes on each side until browned. Place the pancakes on a sheet pan and keep warm in the oven. Continue to pan-fry the pancakes until all the batter is used.

These are delicious and almost like the Greek ones we call kolokythokeftedes. I have posted the recipe in the early stages of blogging back in 2007. Just a few minor changes and in the Greek ones feta is added. Here is the link in case you want to check it out http://kopiaste.org/2007/12/kolokythokeftedes-courgette-patties/
Oh yes!!! I'd love to try them one day.
Mmmmm....my favourite. I love it dipped in chili sauce. This is a good way to hide vegetables. My children will happily eat these :D
yummm , very healthy but looks tempting
They look so yummy! I would like to try pancakes that are made with buckwheat.
I love zucchini pancakes and this just looks so so delcious.
I admit that other than eggplant, zucchini is another vegetable that I seldom use. The Western dishes which often served them steamed may have spoiled it for me. When I see you make pancakes out of zucchini, I can't find any reasons to resist or reject them as they look very delectable.
Healthy, yummy nad absolutely delicious.
Wat a healthy and absolutely tempting pancakes, love it..
Perfect way to use up leftover zucchini - I love the addition of cheese.
I love cooking with buckwheat and love its nutty flavor, so I can imagine how great this is. I need to get more into zucchini recipes! Or hey, you just stop by and bring me some of these :)
Lovely pictures and i know they are yummy.....
i have posted a similar recipe without cheese , you might like to check out..

Such interesting savory pancake! I think these should be fantastic to eat with some chili sauce. Yumm....
It looks so delicious... btw, I did try the fried zucchini in batter! it's yummy :)
This is not a good post for me to read on a rainy Sunday morning...without having any to wake up to! =)
The buckwheat must taste really good with buckwheat. I want to definitely try these.

We make a similar pancake with zucchini pulp in lebanese kitchens; yours looks so yummy with the addition of cheese and buckwheat!
They look delicious and I bet the buckwheat adds a unique flavor. Another great zucchini dish! Thanks!
Your pancakes look delicious, we love zucchini, nice way to use it! WIll have to try this one, too, soon!
What a lovely hearty combination. I love all types of pancakes and vegetable fritters. These look especially good. I hope you are having a wonderful day. Blessings...Mary

Intersing take on savory pancakes. Good way to use zucchini.
Cheers!
I'm always looking for a new way to use zucchini. These look great. I love the cheese here, and I bet the buckwheat adds such a great nutty flavor. Yum!

Mmm...Angie...I'm drooling over this lovely zucchini pancakes. Love your first picture :)
Great way to get kids to eat their greens, LOL!
I wish I could have some space to grow zucchini myself. Love your healthy pancakes from buckwheat.
awesome! these would be delicious and appropriate for any meal! i'd have to use pepperjack cheese instead of cheddar since i'm super addicted to it, but i think it's a great recipe!
Ooh, those look yummy. I love zucchini in savory foods or baked goods. Thank you for the recipe.
Mmmm... these look great! I know some friends who make a version of these although I have never tried them. With summer coming up, this is a great recipe!
Buckwheat is a very healthy alternative to flour. Gorgeous pancakes!
Cheers,
Rosa
Oh yes, one can never have too many ways to use up zucchini. I know of what you speak. Thanks for supplying me with another one. I like the addition of cheese in this.
Of course, the same principle goes for okra. Yummy Yummy Slimey Prolific Okra. One needs a lot of creative recipes for that veggie too.
Gorgeous pancake. Love all the nice dishes you made with zucchini.
OMG, look at those pancakes! Beautiful colors! Where's mine??? ;)
Now these are healthy and flavourful - and would be great with feta, as well!
:)
Valerie
wow!!! This is definitely a unique recipe. Looks delicious and delectable. sooo perfect.
These look delicious for any time of the day! I hadn't considered a savory version of pancakes...I see the word "pancakes" and I think butter and syrup. Saved this to my recipe file. I can taste them already!
Love zucchini pancakes! and your recipe is a great one!
I love savoury pancakes. These look good!
what a gorgeous pancakes , its been a while since i made them, maybe its about time to whip a new batch...
Great photos
I have not seen too many zucchini yet, but I have buckwheat and this recipe looks like a must to try. I love savory pancakes but usually make a corn version. This sounds like a great new method.
Oh I would dip these little beauties into some sweet chili sauce hehe
This is looking very attractive...i love the final color and its very easy too....thanks for sharing...
Haven't eaten this before, would certainly need to try it! Thanks for sharing.
I absolutely love this kind of thing. I'm sure if I made them, Id gobble them all up in no time :D I think they would be amazing with some sour cream on the side.
*kisses* HH
This is a must-do when the zucchini comes in. I don't need to "hide" vegetables from my family but they would definitely appreciate this recipe. Plus your photos draw me in for a bite.
Dear ,
Some awards are waiting for you in my blog. Plz stop by to collect them.
These look so yummy! I am going to try this the next time I make pancakes. Love zucchinis.
They look scrumptious
Growing up with latkes, I'm a huge fan of any kind of fried veggie pancake. Sweet potato, zucchini... it's all so tasty. These look fantastic!
Any suggestions for a sauce to serve them with?
Jay: Thank you. Will do.
A Thought For Food: How about sour cream? ;-) I like to eat them with Greek yogurt sauce though.
And thank you, my friends, for your kind words.
Healthy and yummy!!!...loved it
Boy do these pancakes look delicious! I would love a plateful for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
ces pancakes aux courgettes doivent être vraiment délicieux, j'aime beaucoup la préparation
je note
bonne soirée
Dear Angie -
Zucchini + cheddar + pancakes = Yummy!
What a great meal with fresh zucchini. With all that moistness it will add, what's not to love?
Ciao, Devaki @ weavethousandflavors
The zucchini pancakes look so delicious and must be very smooth with the cheese.
What yummy little zucchini pancakes Angie! I just started liking zucchini last summer. I'm going to grow some in my garden - can't wait to make these!
P.S. Moon being on a diet has been torturous at times! It's been over a week and he is still not used to it. I can't keep him by me so much now while I'm cooking because of his begging and crying...
Fabulous! I'm actually happy that it's time for zucchini once again! ;)
I love zuchinni pancakes, but have never tried them with buckwheat and cheddar, great recipe, I'm bookmarking this, I'm excited
sweetlife
I'm totally making these tomorrow as I have zucchini to use up and plenty of buckwheat flour. Yummy pancakes!
Cinnamon-Girl: poor Moon, it's going to be hard for both of you. I put Hermes' food on a higher shelf, so he will have to stand up to get them each time. We even got a "Slim Cat" food distributor ball, so he must roll the ball to get the food out. I have been getting lots of scratches on the legs and behind from Hermes because he is hungry 24-7.
I have always wanted to make zucchini pancakes! And yours are delicious looking! Would it be alright if I replace the buckwheat with plain flour? Thanks for sharing!
Honey Bee Sweets: yes, plain flour will work.
Come here for what?? I am hungry already!
I've only ever had the Greek version of zucchini "cakes" but these sound fantastic. I love the shallots and the cheese here, not to mention the healthy flours you've used to make these a more health-conscious option.
Scrumptious pancakes...
I'm a zucchini fan and this is one dish I'd love to try!
I love all the healthy ingredients you've used here. They look delectable!
Its mouthwatering! Healthy bite!
oh wow these are great and your right nice way to get the veggies in
thanks for the kind words on my blog always enjoy yours Rebecca
My mom made buckwheat but never with zucchini. I loved it and I bet I would love these too!
I love this, Angie. I personally think that zucchini makes everything better (smile). I also love fritters, so I might actually try to make these ( a vegan version). I'm trying to be vegan. It's hard though...
I recently became a zucchini nut and this is a wonderful way to use it! Cheese in the mix only makes it better!
I recently watched a similar kind of pancake on tv..loved it..the same here..looks pretty gud
Hey Angie,

They'd go great with a dollop of Greek yogurt. Yum!
Buckwheat pancakes are my favorite. I can't wait to try it with zucchini.
I do love anything with Zucchini... with buckwheat flour too... a healthier snack!
These look delicious! I'm definitely looking for ways to use up all the zucchini that is about to come!
Wow, these look really incredible. They remind me of something my mom makes but Russian style :)
I've had something similar before and loved it! I have never tried buckwheat though. Sounds fantastic!
Not sure where I can get buckwheat flour in Basel so I bought 2 packs when I was in Normandy. Gotta try out your zucchini bw pancakes.
I had a zucchini fritter recipe I used to love making all the time. Then I accidentally misplaced the recipe one day and haven't been able to replicate the fritters since. Might give yours a go as they look fantastic, and I love baking/cooking with buckwheat flour.
This is certainly a recipe I would be willing to try...as soon as that mini truck load of zucchini come in from my in-laws garden.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Flavourful wishes, Claudia
