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
Other
- 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 ensure easy removal after baking.
- 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, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently mix with a spatula until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the bites tender.
- Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold the fresh blueberries into the batter, distributing them evenly without crushing.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the mini muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the fritter bites cool slightly in the pan before removing them to finish cooling on a wire rack.
- Optional Serving: Dust the cooled bites with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness before serving.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain light, fluffy fritter bites.
- Fresh blueberries are preferred, but frozen can be used if fully thawed and drained.
- Mini muffin tins make perfect bite-sized fritters but standard muffin tins can be used; adjust bake time accordingly.
- These bites are best enjoyed fresh but store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
