Ingredients
Scale
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
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners to prepare for baking.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon if using, ensuring even distribution.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Mix Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and tender.
- Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold the fresh blueberries into the batter to evenly distribute without crushing them.
- Spoon into Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the fritter bites turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bites from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving to enjoy their perfect texture and warm flavor.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on top before baking.
- You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free version.
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain a light and fluffy texture.
- If fresh blueberries aren’t available, frozen blueberries can be used; no need to thaw.
- These fritter bites can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
