Description

These Baked Blueberry Fritter Bites are delightful mini treats perfect for breakfast or a snack. Made with juicy blueberries folded into a tender, cinnamon-spiced batter and baked until golden, these bites offer a healthier alternative to fried fritters without compromising on flavor or texture.

Ingredients

Fruit

  • 1 cup blueberries

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the fritter bites.
  2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon if using. Mix these ingredients thoroughly to distribute the leavening and spices evenly.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes smooth and homogenous.
  4. Mix Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or spoon just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to avoid tough fritters.
  5. Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold the fresh blueberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly dispersed without breaking them up too much.
  6. Spoon into Muffin Tin: Using a spoon, fill each cup of the mini muffin tin about two-thirds full with the batter, allowing room for the fritters to rise while baking.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the fritter bites turn golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the tin from the oven and let the fritter bites cool for a few minutes before gently removing them. Serve warm or at room temperature as a delicious snack or breakfast treat.

Notes

  • You can substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour if needed.
  • For a vegan version, replace the egg with a flaxseed or chia egg and use plant-based milk and butter alternatives.
  • Try adding a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness when serving.
  • Fresh or frozen blueberries work well; if using frozen, do not thaw before folding into the batter to prevent bleeding color.
  • Ensure not to overmix the batter as this can make the fritters dense.
