Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup monk fruit sweetener (for batter)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp butter, melted
- 11 oz Greek yogurt
Add-ins
- 1 cup blueberries
Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered monk fruit sweetener
- 1/2 cup smashed blueberries
- 1/8 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup almond milk
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 24-count mini muffin tin, preferably a silicone one for easy removal of fritters.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, monk fruit sweetener, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: To the dry mixture, add the egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to over-mix to maintain a tender texture.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Fill Muffin Tin and Bake: Scoop the batter into the mini muffin tin, allowing some batter to hang over the edges for a fritter-like appearance. Bake for 15 minutes. If you have extra batter, bake it in a second batch for about the same time.
- Prepare the Glaze: While the fritters bake, mix together the powdered monk fruit sweetener, smashed blueberries, vanilla extract, and almond milk in a small bowl to create a smooth glaze.
- Glaze and Broil: Remove the baked fritters from the oven and dip each one into the prepared glaze. Line the glazed fritters on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Set your oven to broil and broil the fritters for 5 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure an even golden glaze.
- Final Touches: Remove the fritters from the oven and drizzle any remaining glaze on top for a glossy, flavorful finish.
- Serve and Enjoy: Allow the fritters to cool slightly before serving. Dig in and enjoy these healthy, delicious treats!
Notes
- Using monk fruit sweetener keeps the fritters low in sugar but you can substitute with your preferred sweetener if desired.
- Silicone muffin tins work best for easy removal and maintaining the fritter shape.
- Don’t worry about batter spilling over the muffin tin edges; this adds to the authentic fritter look and texture.
- Broiling the glazed fritters adds a wonderful caramelized finish, so keep a close eye to prevent burning.
- These fritters can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature and make a great breakfast or snack option.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and butter with coconut oil.
