You might have seen it my Instagram account already, where I share the occasional update from my vege garden successes this year: I am having the best season ever! After years and years of learning and doing, I have come to a point where things are going really well. Because I can be a bit impatient and just start planting without listening to the organic vege gardening book…
The other day I shared a picture of my latest harvest on Instagram. It was so impressive for me to actually see it all on one photo! 🙂

I have three mature zucchini plants in the garden. And they have been supplying me with fruits for the last few months. Every now and then I overlook one fruit and suddenly, boom, it is huge! So I have made lots of stir frys with zucchini. And a few soups (it works really well when blended roughly). And now: zucchini fritters! 🙂
At the same time, I’m having another pantry challenge. That means, I’m using ingredients up before I buy new ones. One of those slightly unpopular ingredients is corn flour. But, as it turns out, they are an amazing ingredient for vegan and gluten-free zucchini fritters! Yay!
These zucchini fritters really are super easy to make. They have a lovely texture and the added oregano ✳ Affiliate link: When you click on one of these links and make a purchase through the partner website, I receive a small commission from your purchase.
