Zucchini always occupy a worthy place during the summer and spring menus. The long-awaited sun is shining, the leaves on the branches are swelling, and you begin to want changes in the diet. It is then that heavy high-calorie foods are replaced by easily digestible foods that do not burden the stomach. Zucchini are one of them. Their tender pulp will perfectly saturate the body and give a feeling of lightness. This is a fairly low-calorie product, which contains many useful minerals and vitamins.
Many wonderful dishes are prepared from zucchini. However, the leading place is rightfully occupied by pancakes. They are good both cold and delicious hot. And a minimum of time is spent on their preparation. Zucchini pancakes are prepared in all sorts of ways: with wheat flour, semolina, oat flakes or without anything. Fans of sweet dishes prepare a zucchini delicacy with the addition of apples or raisins, and lovers of spicy dishes bake it with garlic.
To make the pancakes especially tasty, you should choose the right main product. Buy zucchini with soft, easily pierced skins. If the rind, on the other hand, is too hard, this means that the pulp is fibrous and not very suitable for use in cooking.

Making zucchini and oatmeal pancakes
1. Wash the zucchini under running water, dry with a paper towel and grate or use a food processor. You can use 2 types of grater: large and small. This recipe involves using a large one, then the pancakes will turn out with a golden crust and the taste of zucchini will be felt in them. Soft grater, will make pancakes very tender and soft. Both methods are good in their own way, but which is better, this is a choice of your own taste. Then add salt, sugar to the courgette dough and beat in the eggs.
2. Stir the food well. The consistency of the dough will be a little thin, due to the eggs and juice of the zucchini.
3. Add oatmeal and mix well. Leave the pancakes for 20 minutes to allow the oatmeal to swell and absorb excess moisture.
4. Place the frying pan on the stove, add vegetable oil and heat well. Take a portion of the dough with a tablespoon and place it on the bottom of the pan. Set it to medium heat and fry the pancakes on both sides for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
Serve them with a sauce of some sort. For example, for salty pancakes, a garlic sauce made with sour cream or mayonnaise is suitable, and for a sweet version, honey, cream or whipped sour cream with sugar are suitable.
