Recipes REAL: Pumpkin & Chickpea Fritters Need Work (Mine)

I went ahead Tuesday night, and made Pumpkin and Chickpea Fritters, but without the breadcrumbs...initially it didn't work out too well, partly because I used an equal amount of pumpkin to chickpea--when the recipe says you half as much pumpkin as chickpea.

I fixed it by dumping in about 2/3 cup of rolled oats, and then, yes...I had to, I rolled the patties in light dusting of whole wheat flour. Mea culpa. If I had to do this again, I would cut down the pumpkin, increase the spices--these can be pretty bland without..., and then make a side dipping lemon or mint dipping sauce with yogurt or sour cream.

Recipes REDUX: Pumpkin & Chickpea Fritters from Healthy Happy...

Now these look scrumptious, and I still have a can of pumpkin puree left over from Thanksgiving--this will happen. These fritters, from Healthy, Happy Life and the LunchBox Bunch,  look incredibly easy to make; ignore the suggestion to use panko as a binder...you can use an egg instead, or if vegan, some olive oil and almond meal. No flour, no sugar.
