Introduction

These Baked Blueberry Fritter Bites are a delightful twist on a classic treat, perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack. Light, fluffy, and bursting with fresh blueberries, they’re finished with a glossy blueberry glaze that adds just the right amount of sweetness.

A pile of small blueberry muffins stacked unevenly on a metal cooling rack lined with white parchment paper, each muffin showing a golden-brown base dotted with dark purple blueberries, topped with a thick shiny white glaze that drips down their sides, adding a moist look; a few scattered fresh blueberries sit on the white marbled surface around the rack, and in the blurred background there is a white basket filled with fresh blueberries. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla
2 (5.3 ounce) containers blueberry Greek yogurt
1 cup fresh (or frozen) blueberries

2 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup milk
2 teaspoons blueberry jam or mashed fresh blueberries

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Step 3: In a separate small bowl, whisk melted butter, egg, vanilla, and blueberry Greek yogurt. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until well mixed. Gently fold in the blueberries.

Step 4: Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each almost full. Bake for about 15 minutes or until the tops begin to turn light brown.
Step 5: Remove from oven and switch your oven to broil on high. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and carefully transfer the fritters onto it.
Step 6: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and blueberry jam until smooth to create the glaze.

Step 7: Dip the top of each fritter into the glaze, then place them upright back on the baking sheet to allow glaze to drip down the sides. Place under the broiler and broil for 3-4 minutes, rotating every minute for even caramelization. Watch closely to prevent burning.
Step 8: Once the fritters have browned in spots and the glaze caramelizes, remove from oven and brush any remaining glaze on top. Let the glaze set for about 15 minutes before serving.

Tips & Variations

Use frozen blueberries if fresh are not available, but do not thaw before adding to batter to prevent sogginess.

For a citrus twist, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
Swap blueberry jam for raspberry or strawberry jam for a different berry flavor.

Storage

Store leftover fritter bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in a microwave for 15-20 seconds or warm in a low oven to retain softness. The glaze is best fresh but can be reapplied if needed after reheating.

FAQs

Can I make these fritter bites gluten-free?

Yes, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking flour blend. This usually works well, but expect a slight difference in texture.

Can I prepare the batter in advance?

You can mix the batter ahead and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Stir gently before baking, but note that baking powder’s leavening effect may diminish slightly.
