Kick off your day with the sublime pleasure of Morning Bliss Blueberry Fritter Bites 💜, the perfect pick for a quick breakfast or a tasty snack on the run
Ingredients:
For the Fritter Batter:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 containers (5.3 ounces each) blueberry Greek yogurt
- 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
For the Blueberry Glaze:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons blueberry jam or pureed blueberries
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and yogurt until smooth. Mix these wet ingredients into the dry ones until just combined, then carefully fold in the blueberries.
- Distribute the batter into the muffin cups, filling each nearly to the top. Bake for 15 minutes or until they begin to turn a golden hue.
- Transfer the fritters to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Broil on high for 3-4 minutes until slightly caramelized, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and blueberry jam until smooth. Dip each fritter top into the glaze, then place back on the baking sheet. Broil for a few more minutes, then let them set for 15 minutes before serving.
