I first stumbled upon the idea of using chia seeds in fritters during a cozy weekend at home, and let me tell you, it was a game changer!
These little seeds not only add a delightful crunch but also pack in a ton of nutrients.
Whenever I make these, I think of sharing them with friends over a warm cup of tea, just enjoying the moment together.
Plus, they’re super easy to whip up, and I love that they’re good for the body and the planet.

Ingredients & Substitutions
Chickpea flour is a fantastic gluten-free option that provides a nice texture and flavor. If you don't have nutritional yeast, you can skip it or use a bit of vegan vegan cheese instead. Fresh herbs like cilantro or dill can also be used if you want to switch things up!
Tips & Notes
- •I like to keep my fritters warm in a low oven while I finish cooking the batch.
- •Serve them with a side of vegan yogurt or a spicy sauce for dipping - it adds a lovely touch!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I toss in some grated zucchini for added moisture and flavor.
- •You can also add spices like paprika or chili flakes for a kick!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage; just pop them in the toaster oven to reheat for that fresh-out-of-the-pan taste!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these fritters ahead of time?
Absolutely! They keep well in the fridge for a few days, and you can reheat them in the oven or skillet to regain that crispiness.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds with 1/2 cup of water and let them sit for about 15 minutes until they form a gel-like consistency.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
- 3
Once the chia seeds have gelled, add them to the dry ingredients along with the chopped parsley and 1/4 cup of water. Mix until everything is well combined; the mixture should be thick but spoonable.
- 4
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- 5
Scoop about 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture into the skillet for each fritter, flattening them slightly with the back of a spatula.
- 6
Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown and crispy. Add more oil as needed.
- 7
Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve warm!
