Baked Blueberry Bites: A Bite-Sized Treat for Any Occasion

Welcome to another delightful recipe on the blog! Today, we’re baking something truly scrumptious—Baked Blueberry Bites. These mini delights are perfect for breakfast, a quick snack, or even as a sweet treat for your next gathering. They come with a luscious blueberry glaze that perfectly complements the soft, muffin-like texture. Here’s how you can whip up these little bits of joy.

Ingredients:

• For the Bites:
  • 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 extract
  • 2 (5.3 ounce) containers blueberry Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• For the Blueberry Glaze:
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons blueberry jam or mashed fresh blueberries

Directions:

1. Preparation:
   • Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy release of the bites after baking.
2. Make the Batter:
   • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
   • In a smaller bowl, mix the melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and blueberry Greek yogurt until well combined.
   • Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix to keep the bites tender.
   • Gently fold in the blueberries, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
3. Bake the Bites:
   • Evenly distribute the batter among the muffin cups, filling each nearly to the top.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the tops begin to turn golden. This is a great time to make the glaze.
4. Prepare the Glaze:
   • While the bites are baking, prepare your glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and blueberry jam until smooth.
5. Glaze and Broil:
   • Once the bites are baked, dip each top into the glaze.
   • Place the glazed bites under the broiler on high for 3-4 minutes, or until the glaze is slightly crisped, adding a delightful texture contrast.
