Grab your mixing bowl and 10 basic ingredients<\/strong>, and you\u2019ll be enjoying fritters in 30 minutes<\/strong> or less. What are you waiting for? Let\u2019s do this, friends!<\/p>\n

How to Make Vegan Corn Fritters<\/h2>\n

Giving traditional corn fritters a vegan spin<\/strong> requires a couple adjustments. First, instead of eggs for binding, we rely on flaxseed meal<\/a>. And instead of milk, we rely on a neutral-flavored, unsweetened dairy-free milk (homemade cashew<\/a> being our favorite). The rest of the ingredients are pretty classic, but we gave these fritters our own flavor spin and also made them gluten-free<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Besides flaxseed meal and dairy-free milk, the ingredients for the batter include baking powder for fluffiness; salt, garlic powder, and nutritional yeast for flavor; and all-purpose flour or gluten-free blend<\/a> to thicken it.<\/p>\n

\"Using<\/figure>\n

You\u2019re looking for a thick, fluffy batter<\/strong>, which can be achieved by adding more flour or dairy-free milk as needed. With the batter ready, we\u2019re just 3 ingredients away from fritter time!<\/p>\n

\"Bowl<\/figure>\n

Next up, fresh corn<\/strong> gets nestled into the chunky batter, along with finely chopped jalape\u00f1o<\/strong> for a subtle heat. While we love using fresh ingredients when it\u2019s summertime, this recipe also works with frozen corn \u2014 just let it thaw at room temperature, then pat dry with paper towels to remove extra moisture. And if you don\u2019t have fresh jalape\u00f1o, a pinch of cayenne would likely work as well!<\/p>\n

\"Bowl<\/figure>\n

Now for the frying! Instead of deep frying, we go with a shallow fry<\/strong>, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side in avocado oil in a cast iron skillet<\/a>. Not only do we find shallow frying less daunting, but it minimizes the amount of oil needed and maximizes the health benefits. Win, win, win! And still, major YUM!<\/p>\n

\"Using<\/figure>\n

When the fritters are golden on both sides<\/strong>, it\u2019s time to enjoy! They\u2019re incredibly flavorful on their own (we were snacking right off the cooling rack), but they\u2019re also amazing paired with a sauce. Try our Go-To Guacamole<\/a>, Creamy Cashew Jalape\u00f1o Sauce<\/a>, or Easy Vegan Ranch Dressing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We hope you LOVE these corn fritters, friends! They\u2019re:<\/p>\n

Savory
Crispy
Naturally a little sweet
Just a little spicy
Quick & easy
& SO delicious!<\/p>\n

This is the perfect appetizer or side to make during peak summer, when fresh corn and jalape\u00f1os are in season! However, they\u2019re so delicious you may find yourself craving them year-round (in which case, using frozen corn is also a great option).<\/p>\n

What to Serve with Corn Fritters<\/h2>\n

These fritters are flavorful without being heavily seasoned, making them a good fit for pairing with a variety of other sides and mains, especially grilled proteins, side salads, and anything BBQ seasoned (hello, summertime!). Here are several delicious pairings:<\/p>\n
