How to make Delicious Baked Rhubarb Fritters with Sweet Glaze Bliss

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups Fresh Rhubarb, diced
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (Use gluten-free blend for gluten-free option.)
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar (Can substitute with coconut or maple sugar.)
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1/2 cup Milk (Almond milk can be used for lactose-free.)
  • 1/4 cup Melted Butter (Coconut oil can be used as a dairy-free option.)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar (Alternative sweeteners may affect texture.)
  • 2 tbsp Milk or Lemon Juice (Mix with powdered sugar for desired thickness.)

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced rhubarb, flour, sugar, and baking powder. Mix well.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. While the fritters bake, make the glaze by mixing powdered sugar with milk or lemon juice until smooth and desired consistency is achieved.
  8. Once the fritters are baked, let them cool slightly before drizzling with glaze.
