Vegan:
Use plant-based milk, melted coconut oil instead of butter, and a flax egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons water). Use vegan powdered sugar for glaze.
What to Serve Alongside
Hot coffee or tea – The perfect pairing
Cold milk – Classic, especially for kids
Vanilla ice cream – Warm fritters à la mode are transcendent
Whipped cream – Light and airy contrast
Caramel sauce – For dippingUsing a cookie scoop or two spoons, drop heaping tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. They'll spread slightly.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the fritters are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 6: Coat (Optional but Incredible)
If using the cinnamon sugar coating:
While the fritters are still warm, brush each with melted butter.
Toss in a bowl with the cinnamon sugar mixture until coated.
This step adds an extra layer of cozy flavor.
Step 7: Glaze
Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth. Drizzle generously over the warm fritters.
