Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium (85g) overripe banana, mashed
- 1 small (150g) zucchini, finely grated
- 1/2 cup (60g) wholemeal self-raising flour
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅓ cup (85g) full-fat ricotta
- 1 large egg
- Olive oil or butter, to cook
Instructions
- Grate the zucchini and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible, then add the strained zucchini to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the egg, ricotta, mashed banana, flour, and cinnamon. Stir well until everything is fully combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with oil. Spoon tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture into the pan, leaving space between each. Cook for 1–2 minutes per side, gently flipping until golden and cooked through.
- Serve warm on their own, or with a side of honey ricotta or yoghurt for dipping.
Notes
- Store cooled bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 months.
