Ingredients

Directions

  1. Step 1

    Wash hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. Wash all surfaces and equipment used for food preparation. Gently rinse zucchini, canned black beans, tomato, green onion and garlic clove under cool running water before preparing these ingredients.
  2. Step 2

    Bean and tomato salsa: In a bowl, stir together beans, tomato, onion and garlic. Add pepper to taste and stir to combine; set aside.
  3. Step 3

    In a large bowl, whisk together all purpose and whole wheat flours, cornmeal, baking powder and soda; set aside.
  4. Step 4

    In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg and oil. Pour over the flour mixture and whisk until combined but still slightly lumpy. Stir in cheese and zucchini.
  5. Step 5

    Spray a large nonstick skillet or griddle with some cooking spray and place over medium high heat. Pour batter using ¼ cup (50 mL) measure and spread out slightly to form pancakes. Cook until bubbles begin to appear on top, about 3 minutes. Flip over and cook until golden brown, about 1 minute. Remove to plate and repeat with remaining batter.
    Serve topped with salsa.
