Time: 50 Minutes

Servings: 6

Ingredients

Flax Egg
1 Tablespoon flaxseed meal
2 12 Tablespoons water


Dry ingredients
½ cup flour of choice I used gluten-free almond flour
¼ cup nutritional yeast
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon smoked paprika


Other ingredients (Wet/Cooked)
3 cups cooked corn unless using from a can (I grilled my corn)
2 cloves garlic minced
1 red onion diced
1 red bell pepper diced
½ cup unsweetened unflavored plant-milk (I used almond milk)

Instructions:

Flax Egg
In a small bowl combine ingredients, stir and allow to sit to thicken for several minutes.


Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl combine dry ingredients and set aside.


CORN FRITTERS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Cook corn if frozen or grilling fresh corn on the cob. If using canned corn drain well.
If grilling corn on the cob, allow to cool and cut away the corn from the husks


Prepare the Vegetables
Saute garlic, red onion, and red bell pepper until the onion is translucent.
Remove from heat.


Corn Fritter Mixture
Remove 1 cup of corn and slightly blend with the plant milk.
Add the plant milk/corn mixture and flax egg to the dry ingredients and stir
Add remaining cooked corn, and red onion/red bell pepper sauteed vegetables
Stir to combine.
Then using a burger press or your hands, form similar-sized patties.


Baking
Place formed corn fritters on a baking sheet lined with a silcione baking mat
or parchment paper.
Bake for 30 minutes.


Air Frying
Preheat teh air fryer to 400 degrees.
Place the corn fritters into the base of air fryer or on the air fryer pan.
Cook for 15 minutes until crispy.
Serve with your favorite sauce and side of vegetables.
Corn fritters can also be served on a bun and a corn fritter burger.

Notes
Even though the corn fritters are fabulous without any type of sauce, I love sauces! So, I suggest you use your favorite hot sauce, vegan sour cream, or yum yum sauce.
And, I also served my corn fritter on top of quinoa with a side of grilled asparagus. 
If you don't have a burger press, you can use your hands to press the corn fritters. 
To reheat cooked fritters, reheat in a 325-degree oven for 15 minutes, or air fry again at 325 for 10 minutes.
Corn fritters can be frozen cooked or uncooked for up to 3 months.
