BLUEBERRY ALMOND BREAKFAST BRAID WITH GLAZE

Jump to recipe

This Blueberry Almond Breakfast Braid is a perfect way to start any day.

This easy breakfast braid is filled with cream cheese and blueberries then wrapped in a crescent crust. It is baked and topped with a warm, sweet glaze.

 

I have been visiting the farm stands in our area the past few weeks, and keep picking up fresh blueberries every time I stop.  I put part of them in the freezer, and make something to eat with the rest of them. This  Blueberry Almond Breakfast Braid was created after one of these trips to the farm stand.

I became familiar with breakfast braids after being a 3 time finalist in the Pillsbury Bake-off Contest between 2008 and 2014.  I got to sample many of these that were made by other finalists. There are so many great recipes for these braids in the Pillsbury magazines, cookbooks, and Bake-off booklets.

I love to make braids because they are so easy and always turn out great.  I have made savory ones with scrambled eggs, ham, veggies and cheese.

I have also made ones with apples, peaches, and blackberries.

My grandchildren loved this recipe as they love just about anything with blueberries.  My husband loved this and he never eats anything sweet.  The warm blueberries win everyone over.

Grab a cup of tea, a slice of this blueberry almond braid and you just have to be in for a great day.

  1. That looks so easy and so good. I have always wanted to make braids but though they were too complicated. I saved this one to make later in the week when all the family is over. Can’t wait to try it.

  2. Mmmmm! I love how these don’t have to be “perfect” in order to look good and taste great! Nice recipe for kids – and practice in “caaaarefullly!” applying the ingredients!

  3. This looks delicious and is so beautiful and easy to make! I love blueberries – made blueberry scones for my husband’s Father’s Day Brunch today. This is definitely going on the list for the next occasion! #overthemoon

  7. Cathy from Over the Moon link party shared this on FB and I immediately headed over. I love anything with blueberries in it and pastries homemade are a plus. Planning on making this for Sunday morning. Easy to do and simple ingredients. Would love for you to share on Thursday’s Party at My Place linkup beginning at 6:00 a.m. EST. at http://www.grammietime2.blogspot.com Great recipe.

    Congrats on being a finalist in the Pillsbury Bake Off Contests! That’s very impressive!

  10. Looks so good! I think I’d like to try it with strawberries. Oh my, I just thought about using bacon and cheese as well. Congrats on being a 3 time finalist in the Pillsbury Bake-off Contest!!! Shared onto Fb, G+, Pn, and Tw ♥

    1. Thanks. I have made it with fresh and canned peaches too. It would be awesome with strawberries!

      1. If I am making for a friend tomorrow, should I wait to make in the morning? How does it keep and where do you store it? It looks so delicious. I have all the ingredients and am ready to make. Thanks, as always, Pam!????

        1. Thank you Carma. Wait to make it until tomorrow. The crescent dough does not hold up a long time. We eat the leftovers the next day and of course we wolf it down, but really, better to make the same day. You can leave it out at room temp. It is better served warm, but if it will be a long time, refrigerate it and they can warm up the slices. i love this. I have made it with peaches, cherries, and a combination of fresh berries. Hope everyone likes it. You are so kind.
