Vegan Fire Roasted Jalapeño Corn Fritters with Chipotle Aioli
Let’s talk fritters! If you’re not familiar with fritters, simply put, it’s just a bunch of ingredients that typically are held together with egg serving as the binder that can cater to any season. You can fill them with whatever you like from veggies to quinoa and they are just so quick and easy! That being said, if you have a bunch of random produce on it’s way out, a fritter may be a good solution!
What’s great about this recipe? Everything! It’s quick, easy, affordable, veggie packed, flavor packed, can easily be made in bulk, great for entertaining, packs heat, a hint of sweet, pairs perfectly with the sauce, you can use this effortless sauce for countless other dishes (I do), the fire roasted corn adds a hint of a smokey flavor, and they are just so good!

Vegan Jalapeño Corn Fritters with Chipotle Aioli
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Yield: 4-8 1x
Ingredients
Fritters:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup fine cornmeal
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup non dairy milk, unsweetened
- 1 cup fresh or frozen yellow corn kernels, defrosted
- 1 cup frozen fire roasted corn kernels, defrosted
- 1 jalapeño, seeds removed, minced
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
Chipotle Aioli:
- 1/3 cup vegan mayo
- 1 tbsp adobo sauce
Instructions
- Make the batter: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, corn meal, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.
- Toss in the corn, chopped jalapeño and scallions. Toss and coat. Add the non dairy milk and stir until combined. The batter will be thick, this is ok!
- Cook the fritters: Heat 1/3 cup vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Form patties with the batter. You can make them whatever size or thickness you’d like. The flatter you get them, the faster they’ll cook. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Place on paper towels to absorb any residual oil and season with salt.
- Chipotle Aioli: In a small bowl combine the vegan mayo and adobo sauce. Whisk until smooth.
- To serve, garnish with the chipotle aioli, chopped cilantro, and a slice of lime.
Notes
You can use all fire roasted corn, but the color of the fritters may be a lil darker
You can also mix all the dry ingredients together, add in the almond milk, then fold in the jalapeños, corn, and scallions. You’ll have to press the into the batter as it’s very thick, but still works!

Hello
These look delicious but in New Zealand we do not have frozen fire roasted corn kernels. Could you suggest how I can get this flavour with adding to corn kernels?
Hi Meena, I would just grill the corn!
