Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

1–1/2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 (5.3 ounce) containers blueberry Greek yogurt

Fruit

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Glaze

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

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the fritter bites after baking.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined to distribute the leavening and flavors evenly.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk the melted unsalted butter, large egg, vanilla extract, and blueberry Greek yogurt until smooth and well blended.
Combine Batter: Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just incorporated. Gently fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries, being careful not to overmix to maintain a tender crumb.
Fill Muffin Cups and Bake: Evenly scoop the batter into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each almost full. Bake for about 15 minutes or until the tops begin to turn a light golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Prepare for Broiling: Remove the baked fritters from the oven. Turn the oven broiler on high and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Carefully transfer the fritters to the lined baking sheet to prepare for glazing and caramelization.
Make Blueberry Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and blueberry jam (or mashed fresh blueberries) until smooth and glossy, creating a sweet blueberry glaze.
Glaze and Broil: Dip each fritter top into the glaze, then set them upright on the baking sheet to allow the glaze to drip down the sides. Place the fritters under the broiler and broil for about 3-4 minutes, rotating the pan every minute for even caramelization. Watch closely to avoid burning; remove once brown spots appear.
Final Glazing and Cooling: Brush the remaining glaze over the tops of the fritters for extra shine and flavor. Let the glaze set for approximately 15 minutes before serving to allow the sweetness to harden slightly for the perfect bite.

Notes

Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used; if using frozen, do not thaw to prevent excess moisture in the batter.
Watch fritters carefully while broiling to avoid burning due to the high heat and sugar glaze.
These fritters are best enjoyed the same day but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
For a thicker glaze, reduce the milk slightly; for a thinner glaze, add more milk gradually.
Mini muffin tins yield bite-sized portions ideal for parties or snacks.
