These corn and cannelini bean patties are great for breakfast or lunch – they’re high protein, so they’re full of energy, and very quick to make. I made these for lunch today, as there was no bread left and six hungry kids to feed! They would probably make a good addition to kid’s lunchboxes too, with a little tomato sauce to dip them in.
The original recipe is from a wonderful cookbook, “Very Wellness,” by Val Allen. This recipe book has some great recipes for the health conscious, and is allergy friendly.
Note: You can find fine sea salt and Aussie pepper for this recipe in my online store!

Your blog is so informative and clever. Can’t wait to try most of your recent posts. I intend to stop by again!

We love these and often have them for lunch with homemade sweet chilli sauce. They are yummy with peas for a change too. 🙂
Mmmm, they would be nice with sweet chilli sauce!
Is there a reason why you say frozen corn? I’m assuming that canned corn kernals is fine too?
Hi Janice! 🙂 Great question! Canned corn kernels can often contain added sugar and salt, and contain BPA in the can lining. Always check for ingredients first before purchasing. xx
