When the weekend rolls around at our house, we tend to have a few more minutes to spare in the morning, which allows for a some yummy fresh baked breakfast treats.  We often do Chocolate Chip Pancakes or a batch of Lemon Poppyseed Muffins, but this weekend I did something a bit different (and easier!).  

I did a little experiment with a tube of refrigerated croissant dough.  The results were this incredible Chocolate Almond Croissant Bread!

The recipe literally takes 10 minutes to put together.  (I think I had to wait longer for the oven to preheat!)  Refrigerated croissant dough is definitely a one of those foods that is tremendously versatile, for both savory and sweet treats!

Once I preheated the oven, I put together the chocolate almond crumble, which goes both inside and on top of the bread.  I mixed brown sugar, flour, cocoa powder, sliced almonds, a bit of cinnamon (which is a fantastic addition, by the way!), and melted butter.  I then rolled out the dough (I used the non-perforated croissant sheet.  

If you purchase the perforated croissants, make sure to press the perforated lines together to make one large sheet of dough.  This will help prevent the dough from tearing when rolling.)  Once the dough is rolled out, sprinkle about 2/3 of the crumble mixture on to the dough, and add large semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Then, roll up the dough, starting with the short end of the rectangle.  Pinch the ends together, and place seam side down into a 4×8 loaf pan that has been sprayed with non-stick baking spray.  Top the dough with the remaining almond crumble mixture, and bake.

The result will be the most amazing chocolate almond breakfast treat!  It’s perfect with a fresh cup of coffee or tea, and is great in the morning or fantastic as an afternoon snack or even dessert!

Here’s how the recipe comes together:

Servings 8 slices

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 8 oz. tube, refrigerated croissant dough
• 2/3 c. large semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 c. sliced almonds
• 3 Tbsp. brown sugar
• 2 Tbsp. flour
• 1 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. butter melted

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 8×4" loaf pan with non-stick baking spray. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, cocoa powder and cinnamon with a fork. Pour in the melted butter, and mix together until crumbly. Add the sliced almonds and stir together until combined.
• Roll out the croissant dough. Sprinkle 2/3 of the almond crumble mixture, reserving the remaining 1/3 for the top of the bread. Next, sprinkle on the chocolate chips. Starting at one of the short sides of the dough rectangle, roll up the dough. Pinch the ends of the dough shut and place the loaf into the prepared pan. Top with the remaining almond crumble mixture.
• Bake at 375 for 30-32 minutes or until bread is golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing. Slice and enjoy.

Notes

If available, purchase the non-perforated croissant dough. It is easier to work with and less likely to tear when rolling the dough. If this dough isn’t available at your grocery store, you can purchase the perforated croissants. When rolling out the dough, be sure to pinch or press the perforations shut to prevent dough from tearing when rolling.
