Blueberry Biscuit Bites

Blueberry Biscuit Bites are one of those quick and delightful treats that make you look like a kitchen genius with almost no effort at all. I started making these on lazy weekend mornings when I wanted something warm, sweet, and special without spending hours in the kitchen. They’ve since become a family favorite—especially when the smell of buttery biscuits and jam starts wafting through the house and pulling everyone into the kitchen with curiosity and hungry smiles.

Whether you’re hosting a brunch, need a fun snack, or want a simple dessert for your kids (or yourself!), these biscuit bites hit the sweet spot. Made with just a few ingredients—like refrigerated biscuit dough, blueberry jam, and fresh berries—they come together in minutes and disappear just as quickly. They’re like mini fruit pies wrapped in a soft, golden crust, and they taste far more impressive than the effort required to make them.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 can refrigerated biscuits (8-count) – any brand you prefer
• ¼ cup organic blueberry jam – or any favorite gourmet jam
• ¼ cup fresh blueberries – organic for best flavor
• 4 tablespoons melted butter – for brushing and added richness
• Optional: powdered sugar – for dusting before serving

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat oven
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare biscuits
   • Open the biscuit can and separate the dough. Lightly flatten each biscuit using your fingers or a rolling pin to make room for the filling. Place each one on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Add filling
   • Spoon about ½ teaspoon of blueberry jam and 2–3 fresh blueberries into the center of each biscuit. Be careful not to overfill, or the jam may leak during baking. Fold the dough over the filling, pinch the edges to seal, and gently roll into a ball shape.
4. Brush with butter
   • Brush the tops generously with melted butter to help them brown beautifully and give a delicious finish.
5. Bake
   • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up. Rotate the pan halfway through baking if your oven bakes unevenly.
6. Cool and serve
   • Let the bites cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar for a pretty presentation. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.

Serving and Storage Tips

These bites are best served warm from the oven when the jam is gooey and the biscuit is tender and buttery. Pair them with a cup of coffee, tea, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert.

They’re also great as part of a brunch spread with fruit salad, scrambled eggs, and fresh-squeezed juice. You can even pack them in lunchboxes or bring them to picnics for an easy, mess-free treat.

Storage:

• Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• Reheat in the microwave for 10–15 seconds to refresh before serving.
• Not ideal for freezing, as the texture of the biscuit may change.

Helpful Notes

• Jam Varieties: Try raspberry, strawberry, peach, or apricot jam for different flavor profiles.
• Add a Crunch: Sprinkle chopped nuts or granola inside before sealing for texture.
• Sweeten More: Mix a little cinnamon sugar into the melted butter and brush on top before baking.
• Make it Fancy: Drizzle with a simple icing glaze (powdered sugar + milk) for a bakery-style finish.
• Mini Muffin Hack: Place the filled and sealed biscuits into a mini muffin tin for a more uniform shape and neater presentation.
• Spice it Up: Add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to the jam for an extra flavor boost.
• Savory Option: Use cheese and a dollop of tomato jam or bacon bits for a fun savory twist.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use frozen blueberries?
   Yes, just make sure to thaw and pat them dry first to avoid extra moisture that can make the dough soggy.
2. What type of biscuits should I use?
   Regular or flaky-layered refrigerated biscuits work best. Avoid using extra-large or buttermilk-style unless you cut them down to size.
3. Can I make these ahead of time?
   Yes, you can assemble them and refrigerate them for up to 4 hours before baking. Perfect for prepping before guests arrive.
4. Are they very sweet?
   They're lightly sweet and perfect for breakfast or snacking. You can add extra jam or drizzle glaze to make them more dessert-like.
5. Can I serve these cold?
   Yes, though they’re at their best when slightly warm and the jam is still soft and gooey.
6. Can I use crescent roll dough instead?
   Yes! Crescent dough works well and gives a flakier texture. Just adjust baking time slightly.
7. Can I add lemon zest or vanilla to the filling?
   Absolutely. A little lemon zest adds brightness, and vanilla enhances the fruity sweetness beautifully.
