Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Corn kernels
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
- 0.75 cup Low-fat milk
- 1 whole Large egg
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir well to blend the dry ingredients.
Step 2
Add the corn kernels and chopped green onions to the dry mixture and toss to coat them evenly.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the low-fat milk and egg until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the milk and egg mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until all components are just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the fritters light.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Once the skillet is hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter (about 2 tablespoons per fritter) into the skillet, leaving space between each fritter.
Step 7
Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the fritters warm, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
