These healthier Gluten Free Broccoli Fritters with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce made with real food ingredients are so delicious and so simple to throw together.
I'm writing this wishing I had another batch of these right now. But I don't.
I'm salivating thinking about the flavors in these delicious Gluten Free Broccoli Fritters because they're so good! Especially with the tangy, creamy honey mustard dipping sauce - YUM!
One batch of these goes really quick in my home. Tiny Love is a huge fan of them, but honestly, I think my husband and I end up eating most of them. We rarely have any of these leftover when I make a batch ... they're so good!
Crispy on the outside, perfectly soft and chewy on the inside ... and BROCCOLI + CHEESE! So much flavor going on inside these bad boys.
They're delicious on their own {my husband prefers to eat them this way} but so, so good dipped in the creamy honey mustard dipping sauce too. My Tiny Love says in her sweet toddler voice, "more sauce please" ... so cute!
This side dish goes great with pretty much any main course meal.
They're a family favorite in my home. I usually serve them with a protein dish like pot roast and some extra veggies. I've served them with soup too.
Enjoy!

Gluten Free Broccoli Fritters with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce
These healthier Gluten Free Broccoli Fritters with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce made with real food ingredients are so delicious and so simple to throw together.
Ingredients
For the gluten-free broccoli fritters
- 12 oz. frozen or fresh organic broccoli florets, roughly chopped
- 3-4 fresh garlic cloves, chopped or minced
- 2 tablespoons pasture butter or fat of choice
- ⅓ cup organic sprouted brown rice flour
- ⅓ cup tapioca flour
- 2 cups grated organic cheddar cheese
- ½ teaspoon sea salt (<-- salt)
- 4 ounces organic sour cream
For the Creamy Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce
- 4 ounces organic sour cream (I use Nancy's brand)
- 2 teaspoons organic horseradish mustard or dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon organic apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon light colored raw honey (I use a light and milk clover honey)
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
For the gluten-free broccoli fritters:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease baking sheet or line with unbleached parchment paper (my preference).
- Using a sharp knife roughly chop the broccoli.
- In a sauté pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat - taking care not to burn the butter. Reduce to medium heat and add garlic, cook for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant.
- Add chopped broccoli and sauté for about 5 minutes or until broccoli becomes slightly soft and warmed through. Set aside and let cool for a few minutes.
- Add sprouted brown rice flour, tapioca flour, grated cheese and sea salt to a large mixing bowl. Stir to combine. Add cooled broccoli mixture and sour cream. Stir to incorporate.
- Shape into round patties and add to prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until fritters are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before removing.
For the Creamy Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce:
- In a medium size mixing bowl, combine all ingredients, stir to combine. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later.
Notes
- These fritters are best served immediately. They can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for an extra day. My family likes to reheat them on a low temperature in the oven the next day.

Loriel
Yummo!! My kiddo loves broccoli so this would be a fun different way of eating it. What can I use instead of the gluten-free flour? Just any flour?
Emily Sunwell-Vidaurri
I bet Einkorn will work fine Loriel 🙂
Krystal
I love fritters, they're so versatile. This is a great way to get kids to eat some extra veggies too!
Emily Sunwell-Vidaurri
Very true! It is a yummy way 🙂
Tash
These look so delicious! I love the idea of the "mustard" sauce too 🙂
Emily Sunwell-Vidaurri
Thanks Tash!
Rachel
Wow, never thought to use broccoli like this!
Emily Sunwell-Vidaurri
It's super yummy this way 🙂
Linda
They look good, but would there be another option instead of the tapioca flour?
Emily Sunwell-Vidaurri
Thanks Linda. I'm sure there could be another option, but I have never made them without. It acts as a binder since they are gluten free. Unfortunately, I don't know the answer.
Candyse
Hi, I am wondering if there is any way to make these without sour cream? My husband and child can't have dairy. We usually use coconut products. I haven't thought about how to replace sour cream though. We do use goat cheese . Its kind of thick. I wonder if this would work?
Emily Sunwell-Vidaurri
I haven't made these without sour cream, so I'm not sure. Maybe something like coconut milk yogurt or a cashew cheese? But again, I'm not sure since I haven't experimented with that.
Ellen Oliveira
Looks like I'm going to be trying this recipe for my little guy to get some veggies in him. Now off to the market to get some sprouted rice, or do you know what I can substitute it for?
Emily Sunwell-Vidaurri
Hi Ellen, I'm guessing you can use regular brown rice flour instead. I hope he enjoys them as much as my family does. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
Stephanie
Sounds great! Can't wait to make them! Can anything be substituted for the tapioca flour? I don't have tapioca flour. Just rice flour, coconut flour and GF Multi purpose flour.
Emily Sunwell-Vidaurri
Thanks Stephanie! I haven't made these without it yet, but I should play around with the recipe next time I make them. I wouldn't use coconut flour, that won't work for sure. It's possible arrowroot flour would work, and possibly a GF multi-purpose flour instead. I would try subbing with the GF multi=purpose flour first. I hope that helps. 🙂
Kelsey
These look scrumptious! I JUST ran out of cheese, but otherwise have everything needed...might have to make a quick jaunt to the store because these sound incredible...especially with the dipping sauce, YUM!
Emily Sunwell-Vidaurri
Thanks Kelsey! 🙂 I hope you get to enjoy some.
