Ingredients

1½ 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

⅓ cup milk

2 teaspoons blueberry jam or mashed fresh blueberries

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.

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 just combined. Fold in the blueberries gently.

Step 4: Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each almost full. Bake for about 15 minutes or until the tops begin to turn a light golden brown.

Step 5: Remove the fritters from the oven and turn the broiler on high. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and carefully transfer the 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 one at a time, then set them upright on the baking sheet to allow the glaze to drip down the sides. Place the baking sheet under the broiler and broil the fritters for 3 to 4 minutes, rotating the sheet every minute to ensure even caramelization. Watch closely to prevent burning. Once browned in spots and caramelized, remove from the oven.

Step 8: Brush any remaining glaze over the fritters’ tops and let set for about 15 minutes before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter to brighten the blueberry taste.

Use frozen blueberries straight from the freezer for convenience; just fold them in gently to avoid turning the batter purple.

If you prefer a thinner glaze, add a bit more milk until the desired consistency is reached.

Try swapping the blueberry Greek yogurt for plain or vanilla yogurt with an extra teaspoon of blueberry jam for a different tartness level.

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Yes, you can substitute regular yogurt, but Greek yogurt will provide a thicker batter and richer texture. If using regular yogurt, you might need to adjust the flour slightly to balance the batter consistency.

What if I don’t have a mini muffin pan?

You can bake the batter in a regular muffin pan, but the fritters will be larger and may require additional baking time. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when fully baked.
