Coconut Zucchini Patties

I wanted to make something yummy for the kiddos and use some of our abundant zucchini. I threw this together and it was SOOOOoooo good!

Nice enough to serve as a dessert for adults, healthy enough to serve as a snack or breakfast for the children.

While I used sweetened coconut, unsweetened would work fine and be a bit more healthy.

The zucchini has so much moisture that you don't any more than the bit of oil and egg.

1/2 cup             coconut
1/2 cup             craisins
1 tablespoon      coconut oil, or vegetable oil
1                      egg

Mix together. Preheat pan on medium. Place by 1/4 cup scoop into pan and flatten slightly. Cook through to golden brown, cooking times will vary between stoves. 

Optional - serve with vanilla simple syrup.
