Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Others
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, large egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the batter light and airy.
- Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold the fresh blueberries into the batter to distribute them evenly without breaking the berries.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Remove the tin from the oven and allow the fritter bites to cool slightly before taking them out to prevent breaking.
- Optional Serving Touch: Dust the baked blueberry fritter bites with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense fritters.
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture; frozen blueberries can make the batter too wet.
- Allow fritter bites to cool slightly for easier removal from the muffin tin.
- Powdered sugar dusting adds sweetness but can be omitted for a less sweet treat.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
