Honey Lemon Zucchini Pancakes

Today may be the first official day of Fall but I am still enjoying all of summers bounty like these amazing honey lemon zucchini pancakes, especially when topped with some homemade berry syrups! These zucchini pancakes are so easy to make! This is a basic pancake recipe with the addition of zucchini, lemon and honey where you simply mix all of the ingredients before grilling them in a pan until they are golden brown, light and fluffy, moist and oh so good! I like to enjoy these pancakes with maple syrup, honey, or even better, some fresh homemade berry syrups like blueberry syrup, blackberry syrup or strawberry syrup. These honey lemon zucchini pancakes make for a perfect breakfast, brunch or dinner and they are so easy to make that you’ll be making them all the time!
