- ¼ cup whole wheat flour
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 3 tablespoons water

- In a medium bowl, combine flour, scallions, garlic, black pepper, and salt.
- Squeeze the zucchini to remove excess water with your hands or using a cheesecloth. Add to the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
