Zucchini Almond Flour Pancakes

Fresh from the garden, grab as much zucchini as possible and grate away! My mom would make zucchini pancakes when I was a kid, with garden zucchini. She made them small and they were delish!

Grate the zucchini for these delicious pancakes. And the topping? Well, it’s pretty tasty!
