Sweet & Healthy Zucchini Fritters with Vanilla Ice Cream and Apricots

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 1 big zucchini or 2 medium ones
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 tbsp sugar, honey or sucanat
• 4 tbsp whole wheat flour
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp oil

Directions:

Trim ends off zucchini and grate it on the large holes of a box grater. You can also use the food processor with the shredding blade, if you have one.

Wring out zucchini by pressing it against the holes of a colander with a spoon, in order to extract the water. Another great method is to wrap it up in a piece of cheese cloth and squeeze.

Add zucchini and all other ingredients in a bowl. Blend well together.

1 tbsp of zucchini mix = 1 zucchini fritter

There are three ways to cook these fritters. Avoid deep frying! Very unhealthy!

1. Heat oil in a skillet. Flip them on order to fry on both sides. Fry over low heat.

2. Spray oil on skillet. This way you’ll use less oil.

3. Bake them! Cover an oven tray with some parchment paper and place fritters. Bake for 20-30 minutes.

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and sliced apricots on top.
