What you Need to Make Broccoli Fritters

- Almond Flour
- Eggs
- Olive Oil
- Baking Powder
- Salt
- Pepper
How to Make Fritters
To start, you will need to first gather all your ingredients that are listed above. You will need a 16 oz of broccoli slaw, 1 1/3 cup of almond flour, 3 eggs, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 tsp of salt, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Now that you have all the ingredients, add your dry ingredients to a bowl and mix well using a whisk! Next, add in your broccoli slaw and eggs. Use your hands to fully incorporate all the ingredients together. I like to use a small blender to mix my eggs prior to adding them to the bowl.
After you have mixed all your ingredients together, you can add your olive oil to a 12″ pan and heat it over medium heat.
Next, begin forming golf ball sized balls of the batter with your hands. Once all the balls are formed, gently mash them down to form 1″ thick patties. I like to use a piece of parchment paper to mash them on.
Once your patties are ready, you can add them to your preheated skillet. Cook them for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Serve and enjoy!

Notes
The broccoli slaw I use is the Marketside Organic Fresh Broccoli Slaw from Walmart. It is about 50% broccoli, 40% Carrots and 10% Purple Cabbage for those who want to make their own.
The consistency of the batter will depend on a few factors, such as how dry your flour is and how large your eggs are. Feel free to add more flour if it’s too wet or an extra egg if it’s too dry to get a consistency shown in the photos.
The olive oil should coat the entire pan and be about 1/8 – 1/4 inch deep. If you need to use more oil to make that happen, do so. It will depend on the size of your pan in most cases.
