Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

All-Purpose Flour: Use unbleached flour for the best texture; it helps achieve that soft bite.
Fresh Blueberries: Opt for ripe berries; they add natural sweetness and vibrant color.
Baking Powder: A must-have for fluffy bites; ensures they rise beautifully in the oven.
Sugar: I prefer granulated sugar to balance the tartness of blueberries perfectly.
Butter: Unsalted butter gives rich flavor without adding extra saltiness.
Eggs: Fresh eggs help bind everything together while adding moisture.
Vanilla Extract: Pure vanilla extract enhances the flavor profile beautifully.
Milk: Use whole milk for creaminess; it ensures a moist texture.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Mixing Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and sugar until combined. The dry mix should look fluffy and inviting.

Preparing Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time while mixing well after each addition.

Add Vanilla and Milk: Pour in the vanilla extract and milk into the butter mixture. Stir until fully incorporated; this creates a creamy base for your bites.

Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mix using a spatula. Be careful not to overwork it—just until you see no dry flour remaining.

Add Blueberries: Gently fold in fresh blueberries into the batter. The key here is not to squish them too much; you want those juicy pockets of flavor!

Baking Time: Spoon small amounts of batter onto your prepared baking sheet in bunny shapes (or just blobs if you’re feeling rebellious). Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on top.

Once they cool down just enough not to burn your tongue (trust me!), serve them warm or at room temperature. These little bunnies will hop right into everyone’s hearts!
