Delightful Easter blueberry bunny bites offer a whimsical twist on classic holiday treats. Small pastries combine sweet blueberry filling with adorable bunny-shaped design, promising festive cheer you’ll savor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whole milk (120 ml)
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, creating a smooth, lump-free foundation for the pastry.
- Cream butter and sugar in a separate bowl until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, incorporating a soft, airy texture.
- Introduce eggs individually into the butter mixture, ensuring each is thoroughly integrated before adding the next.
- Pour vanilla extract and milk into the wet ingredients, stirring until the liquid harmonizes completely with the butter mixture.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, folding gently to maintain a delicate consistency and prevent overmixing.
- Softly fold fresh blueberries into the batter, distributing them evenly without crushing the delicate fruits.
- Carefully shape the batter into bunny-like forms on the prepared baking sheet, creating whimsical Easter-themed treats.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, watching for a golden-brown surface that indicates perfect doneness and a delectable exterior.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth, even mixing and consistent texture.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent tough, dense bunny bites; mix just until ingredients are combined.
- Dust blueberries lightly with flour before folding to prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
- For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to maintain the same tender crumb.
