Blueberry Crumb Sticks

posted by Jennifer on March 12, 2014

Do you love blueberry muffins? Do you like danishes? Well if you answered yes to any of those questions, I have a treat for you today. These Blueberry Crumb Sticks are the perfect on the go breakfast treat the whole family will love. I am always trying to come up with breakfast recipe like my Chocolate Chip Scones, Sprinkle Money Bread Muffins, and Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls that don’t take a lot of time to make because I don’t know about you but I don’t want to wait around for my breakfast to be done in the morning!

And there is no waiting around with these blueberry crumb sticks, they are made with Pillsbury Crescent Rolls filled with blueberry cream cheese and blueberry pie filling twisted up and topped with a cinnamon sugar crumble, just like the top of a blueberry muffin. I also served these blueberry crumb sticks with the leftover blueberry cream cheese for dipping. Delicious!

JUST A FEW BAKING TIPS:

✔ When cutting the Pillsbury crescent dough into strips, I find it easier to use a pizza cutter rather than a knife.

✔ To make the crumb on top, you will need room temperature butter. If you don’t have time to wait for the butter to get to room temperature by setting it out, here is a trick that I use almost every time I need room temperature butter.

Place stick of butter on a microwave safe plate. Leave the paper wrapper on.
Place the plate into the microwave and heat on high power for 5 seconds. Open microwave and flip it over on its side and heat again for 5 seconds. Do this on all four sides of the stick of butter. After about 20 seconds your butter will be perfect to use for baking.

✔ Don’t like blueberry!? No problem, mix it up, you can use your favorite pie filling or you can use peanut butter, Nutella, the options are endless!
