Ingredients
- • buckwheat flour: 1 cup
- • zucchini: 2 medium, grated
- • eggs: 2
- • scallions: 3, finely chopped
- • garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • paprika: 1/2 teaspoon
- • salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- • black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
- • coconut oil: 2 tablespoons
- • coconut yogurt: 1 cup
- • lime juice: 1 tablespoon
- • sriracha: 1 teaspoon
- • fresh cilantro: 2 tablespoons, chopped
Instructions
- 1 In a large bowl, combine buckwheat flour, grated zucchini, eggs, scallions, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until ingredients are fully incorporated.
- 2 Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Once the oil is hot, scoop about 1/4 cup of the fritter mixture for each fritter into the skillet. Flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon.
- 3 Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
- 4 In a small bowl, whisk together coconut yogurt, lime juice, sriracha, and cilantro to make the spicy coconut yogurt sauce.
- 5 Serve the fritters warm with a dollop of spicy coconut yogurt on top. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
Serving Suggestions
- • These savory fritters make a delightful breakfast, especially when paired with a side of mixed greens drizzled with a light lemon vinaigrette. For a refreshing beverage, enjoy with a tall glass of freshly squeezed orange juice or a green smoothie made with spinach, banana, and almond milk. The zesty coconut yogurt adds a creamy texture that complements the fritters, while the refreshing drink provides a citrus burst to kickstart your day.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover fritters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until heated through. The spicy coconut yogurt can be stored separately in a sealed container in the fridge for the same duration.
