Ingredients

• 1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen, thawed)
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/4 cup oat flour (or ground flaxseed)
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or oat milk)
• 1 egg (or 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 Tbsp water)
• 1 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 Tbsp olive oil for cooking (or avocado oil)

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl whisk together the flours, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, and cayenne.
2. In another bowl beat the egg (or stir the flax‑egg mixture) and whisk in the milk.
3. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until just combined—too much folding can make the fritters tough.
4. Fold in the corn kernels and cilantro.
5. Heat the oil in a large non‑stick skillet over medium heat.
6. Drop heaping spoonfuls
