Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ cup granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and granulated sugar to combine and aerate the dry components evenly.
- Cream Butter and Eggs: In a separate bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Then, add eggs one at a time, beating well after each to incorporate air for a tender texture.
- Add Flavor and Milk: Stir in vanilla extract and whole milk until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, creating a creamy batter base.
- Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can make the bites tough.
- Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries to distribute them evenly without crushing, preserving their shape and burst of flavor.
- Shape and Bake: Spoon the batter onto the prepared baking sheet in bunny shapes using a spoon or cookie cutter guide. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the bites are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture; frozen can be substituted but may add extra moisture.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the bites tender and fluffy.
- Allow the treats to cool slightly before serving to help them set and maintain shape.
- Gray parchment paper or silicone baking mats can be used in place of parchment paper.
- These bites can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
