Easy Croissants | 8 Delicious Flavour Ways! | Breakfast Ideas

These golden croissants look impressive but take only minutes to make – the flavour combos are endless! Try out my 8 suggestions here and give me a thumbs up if you want to see more flavour ideas! Let me know in the comments below if you make this tasty treat!

If you want to cut the calories try the lighter Jus-Rol 30% less fat pre rolled puff pastry sheet for guilt free indulgence! One sixth is 166kcals – that’s 2 and a half mini croissants! (http://www.jusrol.co.uk/ProductDetail...)

A 320g pre rolled puff pastry sheet made me 16 mini croissants – cut into less larger triangles if you want larger croissants.

Try out my 8 delicious flavour combos:
1. White chocolate, desiccated coconut & dried cranberry
2. Dried apricot & white chocolate
3. Milk chocolate & orange zest
4. After Eight (mint choc)
5. Toffee & pecan with cinnamon
6. Chilli powder & chocolate
7. Apple sauce & cinnamon
8. Freeze dried strawberries & white chocolate

How to make your croissants:
1. Roll out your puff pastry and cut into triangles
2. Add your filling to the centre of the longest side of your triangle
3. Roll away from you toward the point
4. Pinch each side well to adhere the pastry all around the filling
5. Twist each side around on itself
6. Create a little ‘crab’ shape
7. Brush with a little milk
8. Bake according to the instructions on your puff pastry packet (mine needed around 12 minutes in a 160 degree C oven).
9. Proudly serve and don’t let on that they only took you 5 minutes to prepare!
10. Enjoy!

I used store bought pre rolled puff pastry for a quick and easy breakfast treat but you can make your own if you are feeling ambitious! Check out a recipe for puff pastry here:
