- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Mix Together: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.
- Spoon into Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Bake: Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the fritter bites cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Add Nuts: Try folding in chopped walnuts or almonds for extra crunch.
- Glaze: Drizzle with a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk for added sweetness.
- Fruit Variations: Substitute blueberries with raspberries, blackberries, or diced peaches for a different fruit twist.
- Vegan Option: Use a flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water) and plant-based milk and butter for a vegan version.
