Delicious vegan corn fritters. Easy to make and taste incredible. Perfect for a vegan brunch, lunch or dinner.
Have you tried sweetcorn fritters before?
They're a real favourite of mine.
Easy to make
I love how straightforward these vegan sweetcorn fritters are to make.
They're largely made with store cupboard ingredients such as tinned or frozen corn and spices.
Not only are they packed full of veggies they're also a great source of plant-based protein. This protein comes from chickpea flour.
Chickpea flour binds these corn fritters together
If chickpea flour isn't already a store cupboard ingredient for you then it should be. It's an invaluable vegan ingredient.
Chickpea flour - also known as besan or gram flour - makes a wonderful batter when mixed with water. This means that there's no need for an egg substitute when making your corn fritters.
What to serve with corn fritters
Although I usually have corn fritters for lunch, they also make a delicious breakfast or brunch recipe, perhaps served with some beans.
Alternatively they make a great side dish for dinner perhaps with a vegan chilli or this smoky pulled jackfruit.
A side of avocado - or guacamole - is a great addition to these sweetcorn fritters.

Freeze your corn fritters for later
If you can't eat all your fritters in one go they freeze really well.
Simply freeze on a tray for an hour before transferring to a bag or box. This is to stop them from sticking together.
Defrost in the fridge overnight then reheat in the oven.

How to make vegan corn fritters
You can make sweetcorn fritters using tinned or frozen corn. If you're using fresh you'll need to remove it from the cob and cook it for a few minutes before proceeding with this recipe.
It's also important to make sure you cook the fritters slowly. Heat the oil in a frying pan and reduce the heat to low-medium before adding a spoonful of the batter. If the outside cooks too quickly it'll burn before the inside is cooked.
