Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 cups (360 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (150 g) fresh or frozen blueberries
- 6 tbsps (85 g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 containers (5.3 oz or 150 g) blueberry Greek yogurt
- 2 cups (240 g) powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 0.33 cup (80 ml) milk
- 2 tsps baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsps blueberry jam or mashed fresh blueberries
- 0.5 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Ignite the oven to 350°F (175°C) and liberally coat a 24-cup mini muffin pan with non-stick spray, ensuring seamless release of delicate morsels.
- Dry Ingredient Fusion: Whisk flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a capacious mixing bowl until perfectly integrated.
- Wet Ingredient Emulsion: Blend melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and blueberry Greek yogurt into a smooth, cohesive liquid mixture.
- Batter Creation: Gently fold wet and dry ingredients together, maintaining a light touch to preserve the delicate crumb structure, minimizing mixing to prevent toughening.
- Blueberry Infusion: Fold whole blueberries into the batter, ensuring uniform distribution throughout the mixture.
- Baking Process: Fill muffin cups nearly to the brim with batter, then transfer pan to preheated oven. Bake for 15 minutes until surfaces transform to a golden hue.
- Glaze Transformation: Craft a luxurious glaze by whisking powdered sugar, milk, and blueberry jam until achieving a silky, lustrous consistency.
- Finishing Touch: Immerse each baked bite’s crown into the glossy glaze, completely enrobing the surface. Position under broiler for 3-4 minutes to caramelize and create a crisp exterior.
Notes
- Prevent Overmixing: Stir ingredients gently to maintain a light, tender texture without developing tough gluten strands.
- Blueberry Distribution Technique: Coat fresh blueberries lightly in flour before folding into batter to prevent sinking and ensure even spread throughout each bite.
- Glaze Caramelization Tip: Watch carefully under the broiler to achieve a golden, crispy surface without burning the delicate glaze.
- Storage Recommendation: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness, bringing to room temperature before serving for optimal taste and texture.
