Ingredients
-
2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels (thawed if frozen)
-
2 large eggs
-
1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
-
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
-
1/3 cup almond flour or oat flour
-
1/4 cup cornmeal
-
1/4 tsp garlic powder
-
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
-
Salt & pepper, to taste
-
1 tsp baking powder (gluten-free certified)
-
2 tbsp milk (or dairy-free alternative)
-
2-3 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil (for frying)
Instructions
-
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine corn, eggs, green onions, cheese (if using), and milk.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk almond or oat flour, cornmeal, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
-
Make Batter: Add dry mixture to the wet and stir until fully incorporated. Batter will be thick.
-
Fry Fritters: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scoop ¼ cup portions of batter into pan, flattening gently.
-
Cook Until Crisp: Fry 2–3 minutes per side or until golden and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
-
Serve Warm: Enjoy with butter, sour cream, or alongside crispy bacon.
Notes
For dairy-free, skip cheese and use plant milk. Almond flour gives nuttiness; oat flour makes them softer. Best served fresh but can be reheated in the oven.
