3 cups fresh (or frozen & thawed) corn kernels
2/3 cup leek (other variety of yellow or white onion is fine)
1/2 cup dried almond pulp or almond flour
1/3 cup golden flax seeds, ground
drizzle of cold pressed olive oil
drizzle of coconut nectar or maple syrup
pinch of sea salt & fresh cracked pepper
Note - I added a heaping 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder & a seeded jalapeño
Blend all ingredients except 1/3cup of corn in a food processor until well combined and smooth. Using a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon, drop the batter on to lined dehydrator trays and press into the shape of corn fritters. Dry at 115 degrees for 2 hours and flip over, removing the non-stick backing, and place the fritters onto the mesh trays to continue drying until the desired consistency is reached (anywhere from 2 - 4 more hours).
