For Venezuelans, everything we learned and continue to learn to maintain a healthy diet is no secret. Using vegetables in different ways, among others, became a master's degree.
Using carrots and zucchini is already imperative to keep on our market lists because it adapts very well to what you decide to do with them. Also the use of few ingredients.

The zucchini
It is very rich in water, and low in carbohydrates and lipids. Zucchini contains vitamin C, vitamin A, and small amounts of B vitamins such as folic acid (vitamin B9). It also provides beta-carotene and other carotenoids such as lutein and zeaxanthin.

Carrot
Carrot is a vegetable with few calories but many vitamins. The properties of carrots make it an essential food in any type of diet and taking it often provides multiple health benefits. Source
Cocoa
Cocoa has a high level of fat (especially saturated, and to a lesser extent, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated), carbohydrates and proteins, but it also contains magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, theobromine, caffeine, antioxidants and water, among others. Cocoa also stands out for having a high energy intake, which is why it is usually indicated for those people who carry out sports activities or intense physical exercise. Source
In this preparation, carrot, zucchini, cocoa, salt, and wheat flour were used.
We proceed to grate the zucchini and carrot.
Then, add a little salt, wheat flour and cocoa (this ingredient seems relevant to me because of the nutritional quality it presents and makes the flavor of the pancakes different). No sugar was added to this preparation (the less sugar used, the better), sugar is optional.
On the hot griddle, with a little oil, the preparation is placed pancake style (I don't call them pancakes because they don't have eggs, sugar, vanilla and other ingredients that we generally use in them).
