Notes

Gluten-Free Baking Mix Options

You may use any gluten-free baking & pancake mix, such as Bob's Red Mill, King Arthur, Gluten-Free Bisquick, or Pamela's Baking Mix.

Using gluten-free all-purpose flour - Add 2/3 cup gluten-free flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons oil to the zucchini, eggs, and parmesan cheese.

Freezing and Reheating

When I have a lot of zucchini I need to use up, I double or triple the recipe and freeze what we don’t eat.

Make sure they are completely cooled (otherwise they will steam and cause ice crystals to form on them). To freeze, lay the fritters flat in a freezer ziplock bag. Freeze up to 3 months.

To reheat, set them out on the counter for 30 minutes or microwave at 50% power for 2 minutes. After they are almost completely thawed, you can crisp them back up by heating in non-stick skillet or warm in toaster oven.
