Cheezy Chickpea Corn Fritters

Do you have a bag or can of corn hidden in the cupboard? Chances are you’re not sure what to do with canned corn. You’re not alone! Canned corn is my guilty pleasure, seriously I eat it with a spoon. Or, for the more civilized people here, make these cheezy chickpea corn fritters. Delicious corn fritters made with vegan (or not!) cheese, and chickpea flour with a hint of spice. These easy fritters make the perfect side dish, or can be eaten as a veggie patty!


Corn fritters are totally underrated. They are sweet, salty, and usually deep friend – really, all my favorite attributes when it comes to food. BUT in true spirit of NutritionXKitchen, I like to reinvent some of my faves, and make them into something I can eat daily. That’s why I switched up the typical egg + milk + flour + corn + butter recipe and made it into a higher protein, vegan fritter made with coconut milk, chickpea flour, and vegan cheese.

They are satisfying on their own, stuffed inside of a pita, sandwich, or even on top of a salad. Serve these guys warm so that you get that melty, ooey gooey cheese goodness.
