Blueberry Breakfast Braid Ingredients
For the braid:
- 1 8 ounce package refrigerated crescent roll sheet
- 1 ½ cups of blueberries
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of flour
- zest from ½ a lemon (about ½ teaspoon)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
For the filling:
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons of Brummel & Brown
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of flour
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
For the glaze:
- 1 tablespoon Brummel & Brown
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Quality ingredients make all the difference in how a recipe turns out. That's why I love using Brummel & Brown. You can find it at Safeway during your next shopping trip.
Brummel & Brown is made with the wholesome goodness of real yogurt and plant-based oils. It's a deliciously smart choice with ½ the fat and calories of butter and 0g of cholesterol per serving.
It's got a sweet, creamy taste that shines through with this tasty brunch recipe.

Once you've grabbed your ingredients, it's time to get started baking!
How to Make a Blueberry Breakfast Braid
Begin with a medium bowl filled with the blueberries, sugar, flour, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Toss gently and then set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together cream cheese, Brummel & Brown, sugar, and flour.
Next, line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper and roll out the sheet of crescent dough.
You'll want to be sure to use the parchment paper to prevent any problems later on.
On the middle third of the dough, spread the cream cheese mixture. Add the blueberry mixture on top of this.
On the other two thirds, you'll cut diagonal lines down each side.
Now, you'll gently fold each piece over the top of the blueberry and cream cheese mixture and fold over each end.
Whisk one egg and brush over the top of the braid.
How to Bake a Blueberry Breakfast Braid
Bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 20 minutes before serving.
How to Make Blueberry Breakfast Braid Glaze
While you're waiting for the breakfast braid to bake, you can make the glaze.
You'll melt one tablespoon of Brummel & Brown in a small bowl, then add vanilla. Gently whisk in powdered sugar until it has a drizzle-like consistency.
Drizzle over the top of the braid after it's rested for 20 minutes. Slice and serve!
Your guests will rave over this amazing braid!

Do you think this recipe would work without the egg wash (my daughter is allergic)
Layne Henderson says
Yes, it would still work!
Celeste says
Could frozen blueberries be used instead of fresh?
Layne Henderson says
Yes, you could - enjoy!
Nancy says
Is there something I can use to replace the Brussel and Brown. I have never seen it in any grocery stores I have been in.
Layne Henderson says
You could use regular butter if you can't find it - but it should be in the same area 🙂 Good luck!
