Grate the zucchini and carrot using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the excess moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated carrot, and chopped spinach.
Add the oat flour, egg whites, and low-fat milk to the vegetables. Stir well to create a batter.
Season the batter with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil spray.
Spoon about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake and gently spread into a round shape.
Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until the edges look set and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fully cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, spraying the skillet with olive oil as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm. They pair well with a low-fat yogurt dip or a side salad for a complete meal.
