Gluten-free Zucchini Pancakes (IC/PBS friendly) - Certified Thermomix person

I love vegetables! but when it comes to zucchini, I don't know what to say. Raw it tastes like cucumber and if not properly cooked, it's bad, bland and mushy. I saw many of my recipes ruined due to zucchini. The thing is that, when cooked well, it's delicious! But, it's not that simple to say "oh, I'm gonna leave it for a couple of minutes so the water has time to evaporates"..No, no, no, it doesn't work like that. Anyway, I tried different ways to eat that vegetable and thought I'd add it to my pancake batter but that was not the most brilliant idea I got... the taste was awful. That was before my gluten-free diet. Today, I wanted to give it another try and instead of an all purpose flour, I only used chickpea flour...my favorite flour ever! and I confess that the result was great! I really liked it and enjoyed having that meal. No need to say that I ate more pancakes than I was supposed to ;)

Want to try it too? Here we go!
