Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon flax seeds
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 very ripe banana, mashed
  • ¼ cup shredded zucchini
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons brown sugar baking blend (such as Truvia®)
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • cooking spray

Directions

Step 1
Combine water and flax seeds in a small bowl. Refrigerate until mixture thickens and has an egg-like consistency, 15 to 30 minutes. Stir in almond milk, banana, zucchini, and vanilla extract.

Step 2
Mix flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar baking blend, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and sea salt together in a bowl. Pour in flax mixture; stir until batter is just combined.

Step 3
Heat a large griddle over medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Drop 1/3 cup batter onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form and bottoms are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a baking rack to cool. Repeat with remaining batter.
