🧾 Ingredients
For the Fritter Batter
190 g (1½ cups) all-purpose flour
50 g (¼ cup) granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp ground cinnamon
120 ml (½ cup) milk
1 large egg
1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
2 tbsp (30 g) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup (150 g) fresh or frozen blueberries
For the Sweet Glaze
120 g (1 cup) powdered sugar
2–3 tbsp (30–45 ml) milk or lemon juice
½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
Prepare the Batter
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined—avoid overmixing for a soft texture.
Fold in the blueberries carefully to keep them intact.
Bake
Spoon the batter into the mini muffin cavities, filling each about ¾ full.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Make the Glaze
Whisk the powdered sugar with milk or lemon juice until smooth and pourable.
Add vanilla extract if desired for extra depth of flavor.
Finish & Serve
Drizzle the glaze over slightly warm fritter bites.
Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
