Description
Brownie Batter Croissants are buttery, flaky pastries filled with rich, gooey brownie batter and baked to golden perfection. They combine the crispness of croissants with the indulgence of chocolate brownies for a heavenly treat.
Ingredients
- 1 can crescent roll or croissant dough (8 count)
- 1 cup brownie mix (dry)
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1–2 tbsp water or milk
- Optional: 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- Optional: Pinch of sea salt
- Optional: Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine brownie mix, egg, melted butter, and water or milk to form a thick, scoopable batter.
- Roll out the croissant dough and separate into triangles.
- Place a spoonful of brownie batter onto the center of each triangle. Add chocolate chips if using.
- Roll up each triangle into croissant shape, tucking ends slightly to keep filling inside.
- Place on baking sheet and optionally brush tops with melted butter.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
- Let cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar or sprinkle sea salt if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use homemade brownie batter if preferred—just make sure it’s thick.
- Chilling croissants before baking helps prevent filling from leaking.
- Brownie centers stay gooey but can be firmer with extra baking time.
- Unbaked croissants can be frozen for later baking.
