Ingredients

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

½ cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 (5.3 ounce) containers blueberry Greek yogurt

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

2 cups powdered sugar

1/3 cup milk

2 teaspoons blueberry jam or mashed fresh blueberries

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3: In a separate small bowl, whisk the melted butter, egg, vanilla, and blueberry Greek yogurt. Add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.

Step 4: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each almost to the top. Bake for 15 minutes or until the tops start to turn light brown.

Step 5: Remove the fritters from the oven and switch your oven setting to broil on high. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then transfer the baked fritters onto it.

Step 6: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and blueberry jam until smooth to create the glaze.

Step 7: Dip the top of each fritter into the glaze, then place them back upright on the baking sheet to let the glaze drip down the sides. Place the baking sheet under the broiler and broil for 3-4 minutes, rotating every minute to ensure even caramelization. Watch carefully so they don’t burn.

Step 8: Once the fritters develop brown spots and the glaze starts to caramelize, remove them from the oven. Brush any remaining glaze over the tops and allow to set for about 15 minutes before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg into the batter before baking.

If you prefer a dairy-free option, swap the Greek yogurt for a plant-based yogurt and use a non-dairy milk for the glaze.

Frozen blueberries work well when fresh berries are out of season—just do not thaw them before folding into the batter to prevent color bleeding.

Try adding a squeeze of lemon juice to the glaze for a bright, tangy twist.

Storage

Store leftover fritter bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 4 days. When ready to eat, reheat gently in a warm oven for a few minutes to refresh their texture. The glaze may soften with refrigeration but will still taste delicious.

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Yes, plain or flavored regular yogurt can be used, but Greek yogurt provides a thicker texture that helps keep the fritters moist and gives a richer flavor.

Can the fritters be made ahead of time?

Absolutely. You can bake them in advance and store them cooled in the refrigerator. Add the glaze and broil just before serving to maintain the fresh, caramelized finish.
