Blueberry Croissant Bake

The smell of freshly baked croissants….
Nothing beats the smell of fresh, hot croissants first thing in the morning, 
You might think such an experience could only come from living above a bakery in France, but there is this amazing little bakery close to where we live and they have the BEST croissants.
So, while trying to stop myself from buying these oh so good croissants (they are a little pricey and I need to stop myself from grabbing them every single morning), I decided that as a reward for not giving in to my croissant desires, I need to bake something with croissants over the weekend.
So, I needed a simple, summery, breakfasty, cake-like-but-not-dessert-like recipe to make, and seriously, who doesn’t crave having a good, seasonal, berry cake recipe in their morning-treat repertoire ?

If you love Croissants, you'll love Blueberry Croissant Bake. If you love blueberries and raspberries, you'll love this too.

The first thing I look for a solution is the internet. My favorite food blogs, Pinterest or Facebook are all full of breakfast-y related recipes…..and to make a long story short I decided to make a small tweak and instead of just blueberries, add an raspberries too. It is absolutely WONDERFUL!
For me, croissants with anything in the morning is a winner- and blueberry and raspberry combination is seriously so light, delicate, simple and but still had that custardy texture.
I hope you all love them!

  1. I found this recipe last week and made it this morning and HOLY COW I ATE HALF THE PAN MYSELF. So delicious. I loved every bit! Great recipe!

    I loved this recipe it came out great! Thank you for this idea! The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that it def did NOT need 1 cup of sugar. That sounded like way too much, so I used 1/3 cup and it came out great. Especially since the fruit is already sweet. So beware of the 1 cup of sugar, because you can definitely use 1/3 cup & it is def sugary enough with that along with all the fruit. I’m making it for the 2nd time today and this time only using 1/4 cup of sugar.

    To reduce the calories a little bit, I used light cream cheese and reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup.

    Made this for our church’s brunch today. I had an empty pan to take home and requests for the recipe. I used 1/2 cup of sugar and more berries. Next time I make it, I will use 3/4c sugar as I like things more sweet.

    I also cut the sugar in half and added 1 tsp grated lemon zest and 1 tblsp lemon juice. Did not top with powdered sugar
    .Be sure to use full fat cream cheese. I used reduced fat and the texture of the finished bake wasn’t that good. I also used full fat milk. and golden sugar. This is still good the next day.

  12. Thank you so much for this great recipe. I have been making this for a couple of years now and everyone loves it. The version we like best has a little lemon zest and reduced the sugar down to 1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar. We serve it with blueberry sauce and lightly whipped cream…..it’s so good. Thank you for sharing it with us!
