These Cheesy Baked Broccoli Fritters are easy to make with only five ingredients and in one bowl. Baked to a golden perfection and great as a side or for snacking on right out of the fridge. Gluten Free, Low Carb, Easy.
Broccoli and Cheese… oh yes please.. 😀
Promise… I really wasn’t trying to come up with a nifty rhyme or anything…
But these are just so good and there is nothing better than that combination of flavors.
I could easily eat it on the daily.
And maybe I do… 🤔 but hey it’s no secret that I might be slightly smitten by a little cheese.
Okay… maybe a lot.
Anywho, these fritters have broccoli with the cheese so that makes it perfectly acceptable.
Since broccoli is loaded with so many great nutrients….
Such as manganese, iron, potassium, vitamin C & K, and folate.
And it’s higher in protein than most vegetables that are commonly consumed.
Plus broccoli is abundant in a plant compound known as sulforaphane which may improve risk factors for disease.
So all the more reason to add more broccoli to your diet.
Ingredients needed to make these Broccoli Fritters:
- Broccoli- can use fresh or frozen
- Cheese
- Garlic
- Eggs
- Almond Flour
Can I make any substitutions?
These were made with a sharp cheddar cheese but you could easily substitute with your favorite cheese.
I’ve also made them with a combination of two cheeses… one being gouda and they were DELISH.
What to serve with these fritters?
- Potato wedges
- Top them on a salad- just break into crouton size pieces
- Dipping sauce- I love a combination of mayo and sriracha sauce
- And you could also serve with some raw veggies on the side
Actually my favorite way to eat them is plain, cold… straight out of the fridge. They’re the perfect grab and go snack.
And a great way to get in an extra serving of veggies.

Can these be frozen?
I personally haven’t tried freezing them but I think it should work just fine. Just make sure to cool thoroughly before freezing and I would put wax paper between them for easier removal. Hope this helps!
Do you think I could use 3 egg yolks? My daughter is allergic to egg whites
Hi Kristine, I haven’t actually tried it but I think that would work fine. Let me know how they turn out.
Thankyou for sharing your recipe I can”t wait to try it. Do I measure out 3 1/2 cups of broccoli after its already chopped or before.
You’re welcome Carrie! And that’s 3 1/2 cups after it’s chopped. Enjoy ❤
Is there something I could use that is still gluten free but also nut free for the flour?
Hi Katie.. I personally haven’t tried making them with another flour so not exactly sure if you’d get the same results as this recipe. But you could try substituting with coconut flour and just using a little less and add an extra egg. Let me know how it turns out for you.
I used cauliflour flour . was delish!
Yay! So glad it worked out for you! 😘
