Lemon and blueberry flavors collide in these crispy, flavorful Blueberry Lemon Fritters. A breakfast that is grab and go and addicting.
Happy Leap Day! Now that is a first that I can actually say happy on a Monday…that doesn’t happen often. But this day only comes around once every 4 years, so one should celebrate accordingly.
Technically today should have been my mothers birthday…any other year. But tomorrow will suffice for her. That is cool with me though, I am making her a birthday cake this year and I haven’t gotten a chance to start on in. She is wanting a lemon cake, woohoo Spring has officially sprung!
Luckily I still have a little time to contemplate what kind of cake I want. In the mean time since I am enjoying the warmer weather I bring to you these Blueberry Lemon Fritters.
So I have a friend who shall not be named that has never heard of a sweet fritter!! Maybe there are more of those types of people out there but when I think of fritters I think of the normal iconic Apple Fritters.
I absolutely love those, so in my fashion I always have to recreate them in different flavors! Here is my Strawberry Fritters (don’t mind the pictures, they need to be redone!) But I’m not biased to just sweet fritters, I’m a savory fritter fan too, so here you can find my Bacon and Cheese Butternut Squash Fritters, seriously awesome!
These are so nummy! Once of those types of desserts/breakfast/brunch types of dishes that are grab and go and you seriously can’t just have one. At least I couldn’t and I have to admit that I try to have some really good willpower.
Usually I have one sweet item a day and that is after supper because I fully believe that I cannot go to bed without having dessert. That is like my golden rule, for me anyways. Ok so maybe I have 2 sweet things during the day. I kinda munch onone throughout the day, picking piece off here and there. It is what it is, no shame.
Bust out your deep fryers ladies and gents! I’m sorry for those who are wanting to be a little healthier, I do not have a baked recipe for these yet, but I will be on a mission to create one! These are one of the easiest recipes you will create!
Mix everything up, drop it in and take it out. Simple as that. These Blueberry Lemon Fritters will be your next fave go to breakfast! Do you have a favorite fritter recipe?
