# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
03 - 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
04 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
05 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
06 - 1/3 cup granulated sugar

→ Wet Ingredients

07 - 2 large eggs, at room temperature
08 - 3/4 cup whole milk
09 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
10 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Fruit

11 - 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

→ Vanilla Glaze

12 - 1 cup powdered sugar
13 - 1 to 2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
14 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
15 - A pinch of lemon zest (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line with paper cups.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and granulated sugar until fully combined.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, whole milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until mixture is smooth.
04 - Pour wet ingredients into dry mixture, stirring gently until combined. Do not overmix; batter should remain slightly lumpy.
05 - Gently fold blueberries into the batter. If using frozen berries, toss them with one tablespoon of flour before adding to keep them evenly distributed and minimize color bleeding.
06 - Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. For a bakery-style appearance, place a few extra blueberries on top of each portion.
07 - Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the fritter bites are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
08 - Allow fritter bites to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before adding glaze.
09 - In a bowl, whisk powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of milk or cream until smooth. Adjust with additional milk or cream as needed for a thick, pourable consistency. Stir in lemon zest if desired.
10 - Dip each cooled fritter bite into the glaze or use a spoon to drizzle glaze over tops. Allow glazed bites to set on a wire rack over parchment for about 10 minutes.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Coating frozen blueberries with flour before folding into the batter prevents them from sinking and reduces color transfer.
02 - For best appearance, top each batter-filled muffin cup with a few additional blueberries before baking.
03 - Ensure the fritter bites have fully cooled before glazing to achieve a crisp set.
