spinach chick peas fritters

Spinach-Coconut Chickpea Fritters
vegan, makes about 10 cakes

1 can cannelloni beans, drained & mashed
1 can chickpeas, drained & half-mashed
1 1/4 cups frozen spinach (or fresh wilted/chopped)
3/4 cup nutritional yeast
1/4 cup Panko bread crumbs + another cup for coating
1 tsp agave syrup
2 Tbsp coconut milk (the hard white part after chilled)
1/4 tsp pink salt
pepper

safflower oil for frying

Directions:

1. Add the beans, nutritional yeast, coconut milk, salt, pepper and agave syrup to a large mixing bowl. Mash until the cannelloni beans are all smashed, and half the chickpeas are smashed.
2. Fold in the spinach and 1/4 cup Panko crumbs.
3. Heat a skillet over med-high heat with 1-2 Tbsp of safflower oil.
4. Roll a small ball of the bean mixture in the extra 1 cup of Panko crumbs. Add to pan. Repeat until pan if filled. (Note: you can also bake the fritters for about 15 minutes at 375 degrees)
5. Cool on each side about 2 minutes. Remove from pan and allow fritters to cool on paper bowl. They will be very delicate upon removing from pan.
6. Serve warm or chill in fridge. Chilled fritters will firm up quite nicely and taste amazing too!
