Step 1: Grate the zucchini using a box grater and place it on a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out excess moisture to prevent the pancakes from being soggy.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, eggs, almond flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined.
Step 3: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, drop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture onto the skillet, flattening them gently with the back of the spoon.
Step 4: Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the other side is browned.
Step 5: While the pancakes are cooking, prepare the avocado cream. In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a fork. Stir in Greek yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Step 6: Serve the zucchini pancakes warm, topped with the avocado cream. Enjoy your healthy, diabetic-friendly breakfast.
