They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so it’s always a struggle to find new and interesting foods that will also fuel you for hours to come.
However, these delicious fritters answer both problems in one! You can cook them up in bulk and freeze them in airtight containers for up to two months if you want to eat them over a period of time, or you can easily whip them up fresh each morning. This is a great way to sneak a few extra veggies in to your day, all while enjoying a tasty dish.
