Ingredients
Scale
- 3 Cups Corn Kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)*
- 1 Cup Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
- 1 TB Granulated Sweetener (or preferred granulated sugar)
- 1 Tsp Baking Powder
- 2 Prepared Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacements
- 1/2 Cup Unsweetened Canned Coconut Milk (full-fat or light)
- Natural Oil (to pan-fry)
Suggested Seasonings:
- 1/4 Cup Fresh Chopped Parsley
- 1 TB Nutritional Yeast
- 1 TB Chopped Chives
- 1/4 to 1/2 Tsp Paprika
- Salt & Pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sweetener, baking powder, and any additional dry seasonings.
- Add the corn (drained and patted dry) to the dry mixture and mix everything together to coat the corn.
- Add the prepared egg replacement and coconut milk. Mix the batter together just until thick and combined, careful not to overmix.
- Heat about 2 tablespoons of neutral oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the pan and oil are hot, add 2-3 tablespoons of fritter batter per fritter to the pan, careful not to overcrowd, and cook for 2-3 minutes before flipping each one to cook the other side an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Continue with more batches until all batter is used. Add extra oil to the pan if needed, always allowing it to get hot before adding more fritter batter.
- Place cooked corn fritters on a paper towel-lined rack or plate to drain off excess oil while you finish cooking the rest of the fritters.
Notes
- If using frozen or canned corn, make sure you drain, rinse, and pat the kernels dry of excess liquid before adding them to the batter.
- Storing Leftovers: Once cooled, you can store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days. Place a paper towel in the container or Ziplock bag to prevent fogginess from excess moisture.
- Freezing Leftovers: You can freeze leftovers by placing them flat on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freezing for 1-2 hours until solid. Then transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag and store for up to 6 months for best quality.
- Reheating: You can reheat leftovers in a toaster oven at 375°F for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through. You can also use your air fryer and reheat them for optimal crispiness at 375°F for 5-8 minutes. When reheating frozen fritters do not thaw them beforehand. They will just take a few extra minutes during the reheating process.
