Scale
- 1 medium overripe banana, mashed
- 1 small zucchini, finely grated

- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/3 cup full-fat ricotta
- 1 large egg
- Olive oil or butter, to cook
Instructions
- Prepare the Zucchini: Grate the zucchini and wrap it tightly in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as you can.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the strained zucchini, mashed banana, ricotta, egg, flour, and cinnamon. Stir until fully incorporated.
- Prep the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with olive oil or melted butter.

Notes
For a dairy-free version, swap out ricotta for almond or coconut yogurt. Ensure the zucchini is well dried to avoid overly wet bites.
