Easy to whip up Jalapeño Lime and Corn Fritters! They are the perfect end of summer fare.

Jalapeño Lime and Corn Fritters are the ultimate end of summer fare. A bit of spice from the jalapeño and zest from the lime.

These easy corn fritters are little bites of Summer. The sunshine bright corn, zesty jalapeño, and vibrant lime make for a breezy Summer dream team. 

As far as a corn fritters recipe goes, this one comes together quickly with minimal ingredients. Plus, all those ingredients are wholesome real food.

Is it the middle of winter and you’re desperate for some summer action? These easy corn fritters can be made with canned corn as well as frozen corn so don’t despair! 

Since both canned and frozen corn are canned/frozen with corn at its prime, you will get the same summery vibes as if you were using fresh corn.

How to get kernels of corn off of the cob? 

To get the kernels off the corn, place the ear standing up in a bowl and slice a knife down the sides of the ear. The knife should cut down close to the centre of the corn so that the kernels come off in their entirety. The kernels will come off easily and stay contained in the bowl. I don’t know about you, but I don’t like chasing corn kernels around my kitchen so the bowl is key.

How to make this spicy dish less spicy? My mini side note is that I added the jalapeño in after I scooped out enough batter for four fritters. The minis loved this corn-filled recipe without the jalapeño and gobbled up multiple fritters each. 

Some of our other favourite corn dishes include this Mexican Street Corn Potato Salad and this Grilled Corn and Avocado Salad.

Want to eat these corn fritters straight from the fridge the next day? You do you friend. They’ll still taste yummy.

This recipe was adapted from Bon Appetit where they call for the ingredients to be mixed in a food processor. You can do so if you like the corn ground up more. I like the chunks of corn being present.

      I find it amazing how many kids love corn. I have 1 (out of 3) who isn’t onboard, but she loved the lime sour cream here 🙂 I also love that you meal plan! Please send some organizational skills this way!

    I always enjoy seeing a photo of the recipe, even if it isn’t a great photo. Your photography is stunning. And the fritters look pretty amazing too.
