Preheat a lightly greased pan on medium heat. Once hot, pour a quarter cup portions of the batter in the pan and cover with a lid. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to brown. Flip and cook for a further minute or two. Repeat until all the batter is used up.
Remove from pan and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Make them savory: Swap out the mashed banana and maple syrup for 1/3 cup Greek yogurt. Add shredded cheese, finely diced onions, and any vegetables of choice.

TO STORE: Transfer leftover pancakes into an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days.

TO FREEZE: You can make a big batch of these healthy pancakes and freeze them for up to 3 months. To eat frozen zucchini pancakes, let them thaw in the fridge, then reheat them in the microwave for a minute. Alternatively, you can reheat these pancakes in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
