These Baked Blueberry Fritter Bites are delightful mini treats, perfectly moist and bursting with fresh blueberries. A simple batter is baked in a mini muffin pan, then finished under the broiler with a sweet blueberry glaze that caramelizes to add a crispy, flavorful topping. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 (5.3 ounce) containers blueberry Greek yogurt

Fruit

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Glaze

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons blueberry jam or mashed fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray to ensure the fritters do not stick during baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. This forms the base of your batter.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted and slightly cooled unsalted butter, large egg, vanilla extract, and blueberry Greek yogurt until smooth and uniform. This mixture adds richness and moisture to the fritters.
  4. Combine Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, taking care not to overmix. Gently fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups and Bake: Using a spoon or small scoop, evenly distribute the batter into the prepared mini muffin pan, filling each cup almost full. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until the tops of the fritters just start to turn light brown.
  6. Prepare for Broiling: Remove the baked fritters from the oven. Turn on the oven broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and transfer the fritters carefully onto the baking sheet to prepare for glazing and broiling.
  7. Make the Blueberry Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and blueberry jam or mashed fresh blueberries until the glaze is smooth and free of lumps.
  8. Glaze and Broil: Dip the top of one fritter at a time into the blueberry glaze, then set it upright back onto the baking sheet so the glaze can drip down the sides. Place the baking sheet in the broiler and let the glaze caramelize and crisp on top, about 3-4 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet every minute to ensure even caramelization and prevent burning. Watch closely to avoid blackening.
  9. Finish and Set: Once the glaze is nicely browned in spots and caramelized, remove the fritters from the oven. Brush any remaining glaze over their tops for extra sweetness. Allow the fritters to sit for about 15 minutes to let the glaze set before serving and enjoying.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries depending on availability; if using frozen, do not thaw to prevent excess moisture in the batter.
  • Keep a close eye while broiling as the glaze can quickly burn if left unattended.
  • These fritter bites freeze well—store in an airtight container and reheat gently before serving.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt and milk with plant-based alternatives.
  • If you prefer a thicker glaze, reduce the amount of milk slightly.
