Gluten Free Corn Fritters with Avocado Crema – Quarantine Cooking
FitMenCook
My name is Kevin. My life changed when I realized that healthy living is truly a lifelong journey, mainly won by having a well-balanced diet and enjoying adequate exercise. By experimenting in the kitchen and openly sharing my meals, I learned that healthy eating is hardly boring and that by making a few adjustments, I could design a diet that could help me achieve my personal fitness goals. Our bodies are built in the kitchen and sculpted in the gym.
Gluten Free Corn Fritters
Ingredients for 8 corn fritters (8 servings)
- 16oz frozen corn (thawed)
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch of sea salt & pepper
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 green onion, finely diced
- 2/3 cup Mexican blend shredded cheese
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil (for “frying” in the skillet)
- To a high powered blender or food processor, add half of the corn, garlic, cumin, paprika, baking powder, sea salt & pepper, eggs and almond flour. Blend until smooth with some chunks.
- Add the mixture to a bowl and then fold in the remaining corn and ingredients EXCEPT the oil. Mix and fold everything together. For best results, place the batter ini the fridge for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
- Set a nonstick skillet on medium heat. Once hot, add the oil, then about 3-4 tablespoons per patty. Cook on each side for about 4-6 minutes, or until the edges and bottom are golden brown.
- Allow them to cool to harden since they are very fragile when hot. Enjoy this with avocado crema (see recipe below).
