I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a way to use up some leftover zucchini and carrot. I had been making zucchini bread and carrot cake for weeks, and I was starting to get a little tired of them. I wanted something different, but I didn't want to spend a lot of time cooking. These fritters were the perfect solution. They're quick and easy to make, and they're a delicious way to start your day.

Why It Works

• The zucchini and carrot add moisture and sweetness to the fritters.
• The eggs bind the ingredients together and help the fritters to cook through.
• The almond flour adds a nutty flavor and helps to keep the fritters gluten-free.
• The nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor and helps to make the fritters more filling.
• The baking powder helps the fritters to rise and become fluffy.
• The salt and pepper add flavor and help to balance out the sweetness of the zucchini and carrot.
