Ingredients
Scale
Main Dry Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 6 tablespoons (85 grams) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 containers (5.3 ounces or 150 grams) blueberry Greek yogurt
Fruit Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Glaze Ingredients:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 0.33 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons blueberry jam or mashed fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and thoroughly coat a 24-cup mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray to guarantee effortless removal of the delicate morsels.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt using a whisk.
- Create a separate mixture by blending the melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and blueberry Greek yogurt until the ingredients are harmoniously integrated.
- Delicately merge the wet and dry ingredients, stirring minimally to maintain the bites’ tender crumb. Avoid excessive mixing to prevent toughening the texture.
- Tenderly incorporate the whole blueberries, ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each cavity almost to its rim.
- Slide the pan into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes, watching for a golden-kissed surface.
- Simultaneously, craft the glaze by whisking powdered sugar, milk, and blueberry jam until a silky, smooth consistency emerges.
- Once baked, elegantly dip each bite’s crown into the glossy glaze, completely coating the surface.
- Position the glazed bites under the broiler, allowing the high heat to caramelize and crisp the glaze for 3-4 minutes, creating a delightful textural contrast.
Notes
- Prep Like a Pro: Grease the mini muffin pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of delicate blueberry bites.
- Mixing Magic: Combine wet and dry ingredients gently to maintain a light, tender texture, avoiding overmixing which can make the bites tough.
- Blueberry Distribution: Fold berries carefully into the batter to prevent crushing and ensure even spreading throughout each bite.
- Glaze Game: Create a smooth, silky glaze by whisking powdered sugar, milk, and blueberry jam until completely lump-free.
- Broiler Brilliance: Watch carefully when broiling glazed bites to achieve a perfect crisp without burning, which adds a delightful caramelized finish.
- Storage Tip: Store cooled bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
