Fritters for Days!
I love fritters! Fritters are my fave! Seriously, I can’t go to a new donut shop without trying their fritters. If you can’t fry a good fritter, then you can’t call yourself a good donut shop. I couldn’t let this year go by without sharing another fritter bite recipe and blueberry was a no-brainer for the flavor choice. Blueberry fritters are definitely my fave! These little bites of blueberry bliss turned out so so delicious!

What Do I Need to Make Baked Blueberry Fritter Bites?
(see recipe card for measurements and details)
- All-purpose flour
- Granulated sugar
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Unsalted butter
- Egg
- Vanilla extract
- Blueberry greek yogurt
- Blueberries
- Powdered sugar
- Milk
- Blueberry jam or mashed fresh blueberries
Fresh or Frozen Blueberries?
I prefer to bake with fresh blueberries, but frozen berries work well, too! Here are a few tips to baking with frozen blueberries.
Toss frozen blueberries in a bit of flour. The flour helps berries stay suspended in the batter and prevents them from sinking to the bottom of your muffins. It can also help with any excess moisture that may come off frozen blueberries as they thaw while baking. The flour coating will also prevent the batter from turning bluish-purple when you stir the blueberries in.
How to Make Baked Blueberry Fritters
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, vanilla and yogurt. Add the yogurt mixture to the flour mixture and stir until well combined.
- Fold in the blueberries. Scoop batter evenly into prepared muffin cups, filling each one almost full. Bake for 15 minutes or until they just start to turn light brown on top.
- Remove the fritters from the oven and turn the oven broiler on high. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer the fritters to the baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk and blueberry jam until smooth.
- One fritter at a time, dip the top into the glaze and set upright back on the baking sheet for the glaze to drizzle down the sides of the fritter. Place fritters in the oven and let broil until they start to crisp and caramelize on top, about 3-4 minutes. Rotate the baking sheets every minute to insure even caramelization.
- Be sure to watch the fritters carefully so they don’t blacken and burn. Once fritters start to turn brown in spots, remove from oven. Brush remaining glaze over the tops of the fritters.
- Let glaze set for about 15 minutes before enjoying them.
How to Serve and Store Blueberry Fritter Bites
I betcha can’t eat just one! 😉 If you’re a blueberry fritter lover like me, you’ll go crazy over these baked blueberry fritter bites.
For breakfast or brunch, serve baked fritter bites warm or at room temperature. For dessert, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Store any leftovers in an airtight container on the counter for up to three days.
To freeze, allow fritters to cool completely. Then place them in a single layer in a freezer-safe container or in individual freezer-safe baggies. If layering, place parchment between the layers.
To defrost, let them them sit in the refrigerator, uncovered, so they don’t absorb too much of the moisture.
To reheat and crisp again, bake in a 350 degree oven for 5-10 minutes.

This is a very tasty recipe. Thank you for sharing it.
Hi, Betty! You’re so welcome. I hope you enjoy!
Really easy and taste great. I used frozen blueberries and let them sit on the counter to thaw. I used the juice in the plate in my icing for extra flavor and purple icing.
Hi Krista! Yum, love that you used the blueberry juice for your icing…that’s brilliant! Thank you for sharing! So happy you enjoyed them!
Really delicious! Didn’t have 2 blueberry yogurts so I used 1 blueberry Greek and 1 coconut Greek yogurt!
Hi, Nessa! Oooh, coconut is such a fun flavor to add! I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed them!
Can’t wait to try these! Did you broil on High or Low?
Thanks!
Hi, Bryn! I broil them on high. But since all broilers are different, you can always adjust the rack. I broil on high, but keep my oven rack at the second from the top. Hope this helps! Enjoy!
what is the differences between these and muffins with a glaze?
Hi Janet! These are broiled with the glaze to get that crisp outside texture that a fried fritter has. I hope this helps. Enjoy!
Your recipes are the BEST!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!! 🌻
Hi, Pamela! Aw, that’s so nice to hear. Thank you!!
