These are a very tasty savoury pikelet! I set out to create a corn fritter batter recipe for the Thermomix and while these didn’t come out how I’d planned, they are a very tasty savoury pikelet that is incredibly popular with my kids (bonus with all that veg!)
They freeze well and are really good for lunch boxes. Simply freeze in a single layer, on a lined tray or plates. When frozen, transfer into a container or big ziplock bag and store until needed.
You can make them without the spinach if your kids are allergic to green!
You can mix and match the ingredients if you like, I’ve even made these with peas instead of the corn and the kids devoured those too.
Update: My Corn Fritter recipe for the Thermomix did end up eventuating and let me tell you, they are exactly what I was wanting! Crunchy and PACKED with corn, much less batter than a pikelet-style corn fritter. If you would like to try them, the recipe can be found here in Super Sides Made Easy.

Hi, I'm Bec
I specialise in great tasting vegetarian Thermomix recipes and cater for a wide range of dietary needs. I love sharing here and in my cookbooks my healthy, delicious recipes (of course the odd treat too!) Whether you’re looking to ignite your thermo mojo, or just after some new, really tasty family friendly recipes, there really is something here for everyone
Yum!! Didn’t have herbamere so used a spoon of odds n ends stock and mixed herbs. Also used frozen corn. So so good. Thanks for another winner.
Quick, easy and very popular with everyone! Big winner here! x o
Sorry Bec.. one more question.. Just realised I only have frozen spinach. Can I use this and is it the same quantity? Sorry to be a pain.
I’m actually not sure, I mean it will be possible but frozen spinach is very wet. Perhaps just put a bit in and fry one up, if it’s not right, add a bit more flour
Hi Bec. If I don’t have herbamare or dulse flakes is there a substitute? Or can I just omit them.. I have everything else and I would love to have these for my lunch at work tomorrow! Thanks 😀
The herbamare is a herb salt, so replace that with some vege stock paste or just some salt, plus maybe a bit of dried parsley. The dulse can just be left out. I hope you like them!
Thank you so much for replying so quickly!!! I am so excited to be making these. Also I have verge stock paste. Wahoo! Thank you Bec 🙂 🙂
Lucky timing, I was on my blog at the same time you asked 🙂 Would love to know what you think of them xx
My toddler and I love these! Great meal or snack.
Would these work without the egg do you think? Or substituting with egg replacer?
You will need something in there to bind, I’ve never used egg replacer but if it acts similarly to egg then I’d suggest replacing with that
These are great! I will try them with almond meal next time. Has anyone else tried? Thanks for the recipe.
Hiya!! I made these last night and honestly they really are the best corn fritters I have ever tasted!! I’m impressed with the flavour and texture – only thing I did do was add bacon to make up the quantity of corn (as didn’t have enough) and they were also loved by master 6! Thanks Bexta – keep em coming!!!! Xx
Hi Bec… Sorry about the silly question but can you use plain flour instead of spelt? As I don’t have spelt flour .. thanks!
So sorry for the delay in getting back to you! Yes, for sure, swap the spelt for plain flour. I hope you like them 🙂
Could you use chickpea flour instead? If so, would it be same amount?
I haven’t tried these with besan but have made different fritters and pikelets with it. Have a google for the subbing ratio, it would prob be quite similar.
