1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup club soda
1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus 6 to 8 cups for frying
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped*
1/2 cup whole hazelnuts, toasted lightly and skinned (about 4 ounces)
Accompaniments: Chile or cayenne powder, confectioners' sugar, ground cinnamon, and/or unsweetened cocoa powder

I'm allergic to gluten and dairy, but I was still able to enjoy these fritters! I used gluten-free flour and almond milk, and they turned out just as delicious. Thank you for sharing this recipe!

These fritters are a bit healthier than your average fried dessert, thanks to the use of whole wheat flour and Greek yogurt. I feel less guilty indulging in them.
