I ate broccoli for breakfast. Honesty, I only made this unconventional choice because these GAPS broccoli fritters taste amazing. But eating broccoli for breakfast comes with supreme bragging rights. For example, you are choosing your lunch from a menu. “I would get a salad,” you innocently muse to yourself, “but I had a whole cup of broccoli for breakfast.” Oops–did you just say that out loud in front of all your girlfriends? How delightfully embarrassing!
I’ve made this recipe with both steamed broccoli and roasted broccoli. Roasted broccoli results in a more smoky flavor, which complements the curry powder. Steamed broccoli makes the fritters more moist.
I use my super simple Spiced Roasted Broccoli (from the freezer!) for these fritters.
Warm, earthy curry powder stands up to the robust broccoli in these tender fritters. I find that the characteristic broccoli flavor almost completely dissolves in these fritters, leaving only texture and vibrant color. This recipe adapts well to many spices, however. I enjoy Old Bay or minced garlic in these, too.
Curry Broccoli Fritters
1 cup roasted or steamed broccoli florets
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. curry powder
1/4 tsp. sea salt
A few grinds of pepper
Coconut oil, butter, lard or ghee for the pan
In a food processor, pulse the broccoli florets until finely ground. Add the egg, curry powder, and salt and process to combine. If the batter is very thin (which might happen if your steamed broccoli is watery), add coconut flour, a teaspoon at a time. The batter should be thick enough to hold its shape on the skillet.
Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add the coconut/olive oil or butter. Drop the batter by about two tablespoon amounts into the hot skillet. Cook until golden brown and flip. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Makes 4 fritters, enough for 1 main-dish serving. Double as needed.

I bet these would go over well at my house. We all love roasted broccoli.
I think these are is the most pleasant way to eat vegetables! I hope you enjoy!
Wow, these sound great!
That sounds really good! I have coconut flour to. I don’t think it’s weird to eat broccoli in the morning. It’s in some quiches.

No shame Lauren! I used to eat a whole bowl of broccoli anytime of the day..now it gives me a stomach ache. Maybe i overate it
I will make these for my younger sister who despises all veggies, but this looks like a pancake!
I think fritters are the easiest way to “disguise” veggies. I hope she enjoys them!
Love broccoli — this looks delicious.
Yep — that looks yummy. Might be making these soon. I’m tired of eating broccoli roasted or boiled.
Those fritters look wonderful and bet they are fabulous with roasted broccoli.

there is something called pakora that i hope these may come to replace for me, but the jury is still out. I have to figure out just how thick and hot to cook these. Medium-high is too hot on my gas stove. Maybe medium or medium low would be more appropriate for that instantaneous heat. Good, though. Maybe I’ll try twice baking it next by roasting the broccoli, adding in some ghee, and then baking the fritters
I made these tonight for my sons and husband, and they were a hit! Instead of coconut flour, I used the pulp leftover from juicing carrots, beets, and celery, and not only did it help hold them together, but it made them rainbow flecked! Two eggs worked better than one, I found, as well. Diced onions were a tasty addition. Great recipe. Thanks for sharing!
So glad you and your family enjoyed! Thank you for sharing the tip about using leftover plup–that is very creative!
Could I substitute chia seeds with eggs?
Sorry, these need real eggs.
What kind of curry powder do you use? Those look delist!
I use Frontier spices, an organic brand. You can get it at places like Whole Foods.
I do not have curry right now what could I sub it for gotta have these now
You can just leave it out, it you want. A little bit of minced garlic would be a nice addition or some herbs.
These looks so good! I’m actually making roasted broccoli for dinner tonight and if there are leftovers, I’m making these fritters in the morning!
