Baked Blueberry Fritters

Colleen

I’m not really a “sweet” breakfast kind of gal.

My go-to breakfasts are of the savory variety. I love a good breakfast casserole, hashbrowns, biscuits and gravy, and eggs.

Every once in a while I get a wild hair to make a sweet breakfast treat. This was a recipe I spotted on The Baker Mama’s website and thought I’d give it a try.

I’m so glad I branched out! This recipe was delicious. It’s well worth the switch from a savory breakfast to a sweet one.

Enjoy!

A sweet blueberry treat that mimics a fritter but is slightly healthier.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/5 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 (5.3 oz) cartons blueberry Greek yogurt
  • 6 TBS butter, melted, slightly cooled
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2-3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 tsp. blueberry jam

    • Directions

    1. In a large bowl, sift together sugar, flour, salt and baking powder. Meanwhile, in a smaller bowl, stir together Greek yogurt, melted and cooled butter, egg and vanilla.
    2. Add yogurt mixture to flour mixture and stir until well combined. Fold in blueberries.
    3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a mini muffin pan with cooking spray. Spoon fritter mixture into each cup. It’s ok if the mixture is close to the top, but don’t overflow the cups.
    4. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown on top.
    5. While fritters are baking, make the glaze: stir together milk, powdered sugar and blueberry jam until thick (but can still easily drip off a spoon). Start with 2 cups powdered sugar, adding more sugar or more milk until you reach desired thickness.
    6. Take muffins out of pan and dip the tops into the glaze. Turn oven to broil and broil until browned on top and slightly caramelized.
    7. Let muffins cool slightly then brush with remaining glaze mixture. Serve when glaze hardens.

    1. So going to try this with gluten free flour. They look divine. Never had a sweet tooth, but, as I age, sweets appeal to me more and more!
