Southern Zucchini hoecakes are a great way to use up that extra zucchini in the garden during summer months. I love simple recipes and these zucchini hoecakes are addictive and so easy to make. I tried to eat them all by myself. You can serve zucchini hoecakes with any meal or as an appetizer. We love them just as a snack with chunky salsa for dipping. A great way to get your children to eat zucchini, too. You might like to check out our recipe for tomato zucchini salad while you are here.
