Hot cross bun can be traditional, or you can give it an unconventional modern twist. These are made with a celebrational sweet (but low-sugar) cake recipe, and piped with berry yogurt and blueberries.
Dried blueberries shrink from a raisin size to a smaller currant size.
And you can make these from start to finish in 30 minutes with no proofing needed. Because it’s an easy cupcake recipe. So you make your one bowl batter and fill your muffin tins.
Then bake for 20-25 minutes. Let cool. And pipe each cupcake hot cross bun style with healthy blueberry yogurt and adding dried blueberries ontop (or currants) for decoration.
For the dried blueberries (optional), you can use frozen blueberries that you pull out of the freezer, drain, and leave in the refrigerator. Let dry out for a few days.
For a blueberry-lemon tasting pairing, add a tsp of lemon zest and a tablespoon of dried blueberries to the batter before baking. 🫐🍋
