We are getting close to the end of zucchini season and I am pretty happy about the zucchini recipes I have tried this summer, thanks to Rachel. This recipe has been in my book for more than 5 years and it was from my daycare provider. I asked her for the recipe because she mentioned that my son loved it at daycare and of course this was quite a few years ago when he was a toddler. I safely tucked the paper in my diary and forgot about it and thanks to blogging, I am now dusting my recipe diary and cookbooks and getting out of my comfort level. This is a very easy recipe and tasty too. I have made adjustments to it to include flax and reduced the amount of cheese. Off to the recipe.
Zucchini Cheese Patties
Tasty patties made with flour, zucchini and cheese.
Ingredients:
- whole wheat flour - 1/2 cup
- all purpose flour - 1/2 cup
- cheese - 1/2 cup - I used mozarella
- spring onion - 2 tbsp - sliced thinly
- zucchini - 2 cups - shredded
- flax meal - 1 tsp
- salt - 1/4 tsp
- water - 1 tbsp
- butter - as needed - oil can also be used
Instructions:
Take all purpose flour, wheat flour, spring onions, cheese, zucchini, salt, flax meal in a bowl. Mix well using a tbsp of water if needed.
Heat a griddle and drizzle oil or butter over it. Drop the batter by spoonfuls on it.
Cook for a couple of minutes and flip over. Cook the other side for a couple of minutes. The patties are done when both sides are golden brown. Server warm.
My Notes
- Serve warm.

I just stumbled on these on tastespotting – they look delicious!! I’ve made zucchini fritters before but different from these, love that you added flax.
An easy to prepare evening snack and also it tasted good. Thanks for the recipe.
This did come out the way i expected it to. It tasted great.
Can the patties be baked? Has anyone tried this.
Thanks for the feedback Lakshmi. I have not tried baking it. Will update the post when I do so.
looks very delicious… we will try this. thanks for the posting
This is delicious. I am going to try this with the bottle gourd that is begging me to do something to it.:) Hope it turns out as tasty.
Sounds like a good idea. Let me know how it turns out.
I love savory snacks…just about anytime and this must be surely tasting great!
They look very beautiful. I am sure they taste very good too.
Thanks for this!! It looks amazing and I’m sure its gonna taste even better when I make it tomorrow!
I actually dont see whats healthy in these zucchini patties??
Whole wheat flour wwf= has gluten, anti nutrients like lectins, phytates and eating items from wwf increases blood sugar.
All purpose flour apf= worst processed food, has all of the above and nutritionally zero!!
Cheese= is good only if its made from raw grassfed cheese, if you read labels commercially available cheese are overly processed with nasty chemicals in them!!
Zucchini= not really nutritious so to speak, just high water content.
I think what she meant was ‘comparatively’ healthy. This is defintely healthier than your regular patties anyday
Exactly what I was going to say. This is a healthier version of the original recipe that was given to me. I skimmed it down and also included flax and so on.
Wow, i have been looking for a good zuchchini recipe.. this is really good
This looks so delicious! Excellent recipe
i like the fact that it is not deep fried; guit free tuck-ins !
Healthy & delicious patties.
Wow look very healthy and delicious Priya…
