Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Oil for frying about ½ cup or enough for shallow frying
- Powdered sugar or honey for serving optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, egg, milk, sugar, cinnamon and salt.
- Gradually stir in the flour until you get a thick, smooth batter.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Spoon small dollops of batter (about 2 tablespoons each) into the hot oil. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon. Fry for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey if desired. Enjoy the pumpkin fritters warm!
Notes
Don’t overcrowd the pan — fry in batches for best results.
Use a non-stick skillet for easy flipping.
- Store: Keep in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Reheat: Warm in a skillet or oven at 350°F (175°C) until crisp.
- Freezing: Not ideal — fritters are best fresh!
Substitutions/ Variations
- Substitute pumpkin puree with sweet potato puree if you’d like.
- Use oat milk or almond milk to make it dairy-free.
- Add nutmeg for a warm spice flavor.
