Baked Zucchini Fritters

Let me start off by saying that I have been obsessed with making baked zucchini fritters lately. I first started making them after seeing both Kayla Itsines’ recipe and Whitney’s (from LiveandDiet.com) take on zucchini fritters.

The baked zucchini fritter recipe I am sharing with you today has been inspired by these two ladies, with my own twist on it. Instead of using coconut flour or whole-wheat flour, and instead of frying them, I used almond flour (making these fritters gluten-free friendly) and I baked them. However, if you do not have celiac’s disease, you can use Kodiak Cakes all purpose flour to kick the protein up a notch.

This is a fabulous way to get in a bunch of vegetables and makes a change from having your typical oatmeal or eggs for breakfast. Although don’t get me wrong, oatmeal and eggs make for an amazing breakfast.

Yields1 Serving

 1 Small zucchini
 1 Egg
 1 tbsp Almond flour or Kodiak Cakes all purpose flour
 1 tsp Black pepper
 1 tsp Salt

1

Firstly, preheat your oven to 400 degrees farenheit.

2

Peel the zucchini and then put in food processor. Pulse it 2-3 times; enough so that you have small pieces of zucchini.

3

Then you need to put the zucchini in a bowl and squeeze any extra moisture out using paper towels.

4

After that, add the egg, almond flour, black pepper and salt. Mix together.

5

This should make 4 small zucchini fritter 'patties'. Place in oven for 10 minutes, flip, and let bake for another 10 minutes.

6

If you want a little more color, you may choose to broil the zucchini fritters for 2 minutes.

7

Enjoy!

Can substitute the almond flour for coconut flour or all-purpose flour.

You can add in one green onion, sliced diagonally.

Baked Zucchini Fritters

I hope you give these baked zucchini fritters a shot – soon, I’m sure they’ll be a regular breakfast staple in your household. They are such a fun and easy meal to make, and great for the colder winter months due to how warm and filling they are.

What Makes These Baked Zucchini Fritters Filling and Healthy?

The almond flour adds a heartiness to them and packs a punch by adding protein and healthy fats to the dish. If you add in the Kodiak Cakes flour, you’re adding in extra protein and fiber (which will keep you feeling full until lunch).

Eggs are a cheap and easily accessible source of protein and the zucchini offers up a great source of fiber – with the added benefits of lots of vitamins and minerals. I actually made this dish for lunch a couple of days ago and it paired perfectly with some cholula hot sauce.
