Ingredient Notes
• Fresh corn: 1 cup of kernels, preferably from 2-3 cobs for sweetness. You can use frozen corn if fresh isn’t available.
• Coconut flour: 2 tablespoons, gives a subtle sweetness and binds the mixture. Substitute with regular flour if needed.
• Eggs: 1 pound of eggs is about 5 eggs; use 2 large eggs for binding. Substitute with flax eggs for a vegan option.
• Green onions: 1/2 cup, finely chopped, add flavor and color. Substitute with chives if you prefer a milder taste.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy, then pour into the corn mixture and stir until well combined.
- Form small patties of the corn mixture and place them on the grill, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove from the grill and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with a sauce of your choice for dipping!.
Things I’ve Learned
• Ensure the grill is well preheated to achieve a nice char on the fritters.
• If the mixture is too runny, add a bit more coconut flour until you can form patties.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in an air fryer or skillet for best results.
• These fritters can be made ahead and frozen. Cook directly from frozen for a quick snack!
