Crispy on the outside and packed with plump juicy blueberries on the inside, these sweet little Blueberry Fritters are what breakfast dreams are made of!
We’ve been through this before friends. Mondays call for something a little extra special right? Well, today I’ve got us covered with these scrumptious Blueberry Fritters!
With Mother’s Day weekend just a few short days away, it’s time to up your breakfast game for that special lady in your life. I mean really… I’m betting dollars to doughnuts (or fritters) that good old Mom deserves way more than blueberry fritters, but it’s a start. A really good start.
These crispy on the outside, bite-sized fritters are tender and cinnamony and filled with fresh, plump, juicy blueberries, then lightly dusted with confectioner’s sugar. Mom will adore these beauties served up breakfast in bed style with her morning tea or coffee. I guarantee it! Plus they’ll earn you some major brownie points for the next time you need ’em!
Hope you have a great week guys! Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 Tbsp. butter melted
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- canola oil for frying
- confectioner's sugar for dusting
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt until well blended.
- In a small bowl, whisk together milk, egg, butter and vanilla. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry, stirring with a spatula just until combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Heat about 3-4 inches of canola oil in a Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Do not heat the oil too quickly or above medium heat or the fritters will burn.
- Drop batter by the tablespoonful into the hot oil. I usually put in 5 at a time. Do not leave the pot while the fritters are cooking. Flip occasionally to promote even browning. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes until fritters are cooked through.
- Remove from pot with slotted spoon and let drain on a paper towel lined plate. Dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm.
I am a huge fritter fan! To find these beauties included in my breakfast on Mother’s Day would be quite the treat! Thanks for sharing, Mary Ann!
Me too Annie! Hope you have a wonderful Mother’s Day!

Thanks Dawn! And as always, thanks so much for pinning!
Holy moly, Mary Ann! Now THIS is how I want every Monday to start! And I’m deeeefinitely sending this link over to Boy as a hint of what to make me for Mother’s day (because fur baby mom’s get to celebrate that day too, right?)? These look sensational, my dear! I bet I could eat an insane amount of these blueberry fritters! Pinned!! Cheers!
I hope he makes them for you Chey! They’re so easy and quite delish! Happy Monday! Thanks for pinning!
You had me at fritter! I love anything fried, yes I know, I know, terrible habit, but I can’t help it. These fritters looks so good! I could had like a dozen or two with my coffee!
Thanks Gaila! They’re hard to resist!
I would love to wake up to these on Mother’s Day or just about any day! Love blueberries and so pretty, too :)
Thanks Jennifer! I hope you’ll be treated like a queen on Mother’s Day!
You had me at blueberry :). These are some GORGEOUS fritters! And perfect for Mother’s Day because they’re just so pretty. My mom would go crazy for them. . .I just wish she lived closer so I could actually make them for her on Sunday. Have a great day Mary Ann!
Thanks so much Kelsie! Have an awesome week!
These look amazing! I know we should do the healthy thing …but these beauties look so good. Way more enticing than the standard muffin!
Thanks so much Rosemary! I hope you give them a go!
Can somebody please make these for me on Mother’s Day? OMGee looks so good Mary Ann!
I hope someone does Karen! Have a great Mother’s Day! Hope the kids treat you like a queen!
You captured these beautifully. I want the bowl. All mine!
Thanks so much Kevin!
My mouth is absolutely watering at the thought of these blueberry fritters, Mary Ann. I can just imagine the lightly crispy outside, and dense, cake-y inside… And those blueberries, of course! Perfection!
Oh, take it from me Michele…they’re irresistible! Happy Monday!
Not just for breakfast/brunch:) Could have these fritters any time of the day on any day frankly… they look so good!
Anytime of the day works for me Milena!
Oh my gosh Mary Ann, these sound delicious!! I love fried anything, let’s be honest. But since there’s blueberries involved, it’s totally healthy right? I want a big batch of these to show up in my kitchen tomorrow morning!!!! Since they probably won’t, I’ll have to make them myself, and SOON!!
Me too Lindsay! Yes, since blueberries are involved, we’re all good! Happy Monday!
I have never tried making fritters before but I’m so tempted, your photos look lovely and your recipe doesn’t sound too intimidating!
They aren’t hard at all Phyllis. You just have to make sure you don’t heat the oil too high so that they brown too quickly on the outside. You want to keep the heat at medium low and let them brown slowly on the outside while the inside cooks through. I hope you give them a try. Keep me posted!
These are beautiful. I don’t make many sweets, and I never deep fry anything. I know, I’m missing out. I even bought a deep fryer, like 9 years ago. It’s gathering dust. I just can’t do it. But boy, if I could, I’d make THESE!!!!
These are only bite size Mimi, so it’s not like you’re overindulging. I’d go for it!
I’m completely in love with these! My mom is actually up visiting me right now and I might just have to make some of these to celebrate Mother’s Day early!
Yay! I hope you both enjoy them Gina!!
These are calling my name! I’m all about a little special treat on a Monday….and a Tuesday…..okay any day of the week really! :)
You’d love them Kathy!
I just love these fritters! What a treat with those plump and juicy blueberries :)
Thanks so much Laura! The blueberries are the best part!
Oh my gosh! These just look to die for!! LOVE a fritter, but with blueberries?!? yes,please!
Thanks Tieghan! These are perfect for all those summer blueberries!
I love fritters, my mom used to make them when I was a child a long time again. I love the idea of making them with blueberries.
They sold fritters at a bakery where I worked and they were crazy delicious Gerlinde! They were huge and so hard to resist. I decided to make them a bit smaller with my favorite summer fruit so I wouldn’t feel as guilty indulging in more than one!
Ok, now I need these immediately. I love fritters!
Me too Jennifer. Addictive little things aren’t they?
I LOVE apple fritters, so I’m sure I’ll love these even more!
You definitely would Jennifer!
These fritters would definitely be a wonderful way to start any day. I can never have enough blueberry recipes! Happy Mother’s Day to you Mary Ann!
Happy Mother’s Day to you too Chris! I hope you relax and enjoy the day!
How perfect are these for Mother’s Day!
Naomi would love them Matt!
I’ve never seen fritters with blueberries until now, and it’s like, why not?! You’re a genius.
Thanks Joanne! I’ll be making these with all those yummy summer blueberries headed my way!
These are perfect for Mothers Day! I absolutely love your photography
These are such a special treat! I hope you have a chance to give them a try. Thanks so much!
These look simply wonderful. As a mother of two wild little boys, I think these fritters in bed would more than make up for the craziness I endure! I might just send this link to my husband with a big HINT HINT. Great recipe! Cheers!
Thank you so much Katherine! They’re such a special treat. Not hard to make and perfect with summer blueberries. Happy Mother’s Day to you. I’m the mother of two wild older boys! Such fun! I wouldn’t trade the craziness for a minute!
Oh my! It wouldn’t have to be Monday for me to devour these fritters! OH MY! I’m loving these! Happy Mom’s week my dear! xo
I knew you’d be in Traci! Thanks so much!
These Fritters would be dangerous in my house! I wouldn’t be able to stop eating them. I hope you have a wonderful Mother’s Day Mary Ann!
Thanks so much Alida! Hope the kids spoil you rotten!
oh my!! Those fritters. Looks so crispy Mary Ann. Those will be gone in minutes.
Yes, I guarantee it Kankana. They didn’t last long at all at our house! Enjoy!
Love this dessert! Thinking I love the time even more – whew my baking time is out the window these days with a pressed schedule. I love this. Fresh. Seasonal. Fast!!!!
