Default Let's talk fritters!

I love them but rarely eat them because they are almost always fried and
have stuff in them that I can't eat. Like egg. Whole Foods sells vegan
apple fritters that are sometimes good. They are made by a local vegan
donut/bakery place. Seems that sometimes these things are good and
sometimes not. So I poked around and not only found a vegan apple fritter
recipe but one that uses whole wheat pastry flour, is baked and does not use
sugar in the dough. No, it's not low carb by any means. It uses dates for
sweetening. I actually love to use dates as a sweetener because I don't
like overly sweet foods and they provide just the right amount of sweetening
for me. Of course if you use the powdered sugar glaze there will be sugar
in these.

My vanilla beans did not arrive yet so I made a glaze using the TJ's
Tahitian vanilla extract that I already had and added a bit of cinnamon and
a pinch of salt. I also see now that I screwed up and peeled my apples!
Next time I won't because I love the peel. And I used rice milk since I
can't have almond. I also made them smaller so got 10 but will make them
smaller still next time to get 12. Mine took 13 minutes to cook. And they
are wonderful! Not greasy at all like apple fritters can sometimes be. And
Angela loves them! Here's the recipe:

So I have a few questions. Do you think these could be made with some other
kind of fruit? I was thinking perhaps of making them for Angela's birthday
if she wants me to but not everyone in the family likes apples. Some prefer
peaches. Do you think it would work with those? Or would the texture be
off?

And... What other kind of fritters do you like? Do you know of any others
that can be baked and that are vegan?

I remember getting some at an all you can eat place. Might have been the
Royal Fork. I think they were savory and not sweet ones and they didn't
always have them. It was a place we went to when I was a kid and it didn't
stay in business for long. Had a Thai neighbor who made yummy corn ones.
Although not a dessert they were sweet. I'm sure she probably added sugar
as Thai food seems to use a lot of it.

Would like to make some other kind of fritters and it would be great if I
could bake them. I think I saw a recipe for zucchini ones but I didn't save
it. Must do more looking.

Maybe I dine in the wrong places but I don't see fritters on menus too
often. But they sure are good!
