- 1 cup corn kernels – either frozen and thawed or cut from 2 ears of corn
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons all purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
- 1/2 ripe avocado
- 2 tablespoons sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees. Pour about 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil into 12 mini muffin tin wells – heat for 5 minutes.
