milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk reduces calories while maintaining moisture.

corn

🥗Healthier: zucchini

💰Cheaper: frozen corn

Frozen corn is often cheaper and just as tasty.

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber without a significant cost increase.

cooking oil

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is usually less expensive and works well for frying.

Combine corn, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and lime juice together.

Chop onion, bell pepper, garlic, and cilantro finely.

Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Fold in the chopped vegetables and corn until evenly distributed.

Heat cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Scoop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, flattening slightly with the back of the spoon.

Fry until golden brown on one side, about 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook the other side.

Remove fritters from the pan and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm with a sprinkle of chili powder and extra lime wedges.
