Baked Jamaican Corn Fritters

I used a mini muffin pan because I just couldn’t make a batter thick enough to drop on a cookie sheet that would bake up with the right texture I was looking for. Along came the mini muffin pan!
They can be served with a spicy ranch dip or even just ketchup. Since they have chili peppers in them, a cooling dip is always a nice contrast to the spicy fritter. The recipe is easily doubled or tripled for a crowd.

  • 1 tsp optional, Fresh thyme or 1/2 tsp dry thyme
  • 1 small Scallion, chopped optional

Instructions
 

  • Mix Flax seed with warm water and let sit 5 minutes. Skip if using an egg and just whisk, then add milk and oil. Add milk and oil, mix well. Add in rest of ingredients and mix thoroughly. Let sit 5 minutes.

Notes

If you wanted to make these fritters somewhat healthier, you could add any lightly steamed green you have in your fridge. If you happen to have Calliloo, which is a Jamaican green similar to collards, you could add some of that chopped and lightly steamed also.  You'd only need about a half cup, leftovers would be perfect! Just make sure they are chopped up.
