3 medium zucchini, trimmed and shredded
1 1/2 cups canned, fresh or frozen corn
3 large eggs, whisked
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3 scallions, trimmed and chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons oil
plain low-fat yogurt, salsa or herbs (optional toppings)

Let’s make it

Wash your hands and prepare a clean work surface. Press grated zucchini in a colander over a bowl, leave for 10 minutes, then press again.
Chop the scallions and whisk the eggs. Drain and rinse canned corn if using. Mix zucchini, corn and scallions with eggs, then mix in flour, baking powder and salt.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add oil. Follow nonstick pan instructions if oil must go in before heating.
Spoon 1/4-cup portions into the pan with gaps between them. Cook until golden underneath, about 5 minutes; turn and cook about 5 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining batter.
