In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, and stir until a smooth batter forms.
Fold in the fresh corn kernels, chopped green onions, and diced red bell pepper, mixing until they are well incorporated into the batter.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, drop 1/4 cup portions of batter into the pan, flattening them slightly with the back of a spoon to form fritters.
Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.
Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the process, adding more olive oil to the pan as needed, until all the batter is used.
Serve the fritters warm, optionally garnished with extra chopped green onions or a dollop of sour cream.
