Ingredients You’ll Need

You won’t believe how a couple of humble ingredients work together to create pure snack magic! Every element here pulls its own weight—from the buttery richness of the croissant dough to the golden finish you get from a quick brush of plant milk.

• Vegan croissant dough (1 can): Pre-made vegan croissant dough saves hours of work and guarantees perfect flakiness—just check your grocery’s fridge section!
• Unsweetened plant-based milk (2 tablespoons): Brushing your rolls with a little plant milk gives them that dreamy, shiny golden crust when they bake.

Variations

The magic of Vegan Croissant Broodjes is how adaptable they are! Feel free to play, experiment, or tailor the recipe to suit your cravings or whatever you’ve got in the kitchen.

• Sweet Tooth: Before rolling, sprinkle dough with a little cinnamon sugar or add a smear of vegan chocolate spread for an indulgent twist.
• Savory Sensation: Tuck in a couple of sun-dried tomatoes, olives, or vegan cheese before baking for a Mediterranean vibe.
• Nuts & Seeds: After brushing with plant milk, sprinkle sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or sliced almonds for extra texture and appeal.
• Cozy Herb Upgrade: Add a pinch of dried rosemary, thyme, or za’atar to the dough for aromatic, bakery-style broodjes!

How to Make Vegan Croissant Broodjes

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

Set your oven to 200°C (about 390°F) and let it come to temperature while you prep the croissant broodjes. A hot oven is key to that flaky, golden exterior and soft, airy interior.

Step 2: Slice the Dough

Take your can of vegan croissant dough and unroll it gently. With a sharp knife, slice the roll in half lengthwise, then cut each half into three equal pieces—this gives you six perfectly sized broodjes every time.

Step 3: Arrange and Prepare

Place the cut dough pieces on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Be sure to leave a little space between each one so they expand and crisp without sticking together.

Step 4: Brush for Gold

With a pastry brush, lightly coat the tops and sides of each broodje with your plant milk. This simple step transforms the rolls into glossy, bakery-style beauties in the oven.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until your Vegan Croissant Broodjes are puffed up and gloriously golden. Let them cool slightly before serving—they’re best enjoyed warm!

How to Serve Vegan Croissant Broodjes

Garnishes

A light dusting of powdered sugar is a sweet touch, or go savory with a sprinkle of freshly cracked pepper or flaky sea salt. For a pretty finish, a sprig of fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary adds color and fragrance to your Vegan Croissant Broodjes, especially if you’ve loaded them up with savory fillings.

Side Dishes

Pair these flaky delights with a bright fruit salad, a steaming mug of oat milk hot chocolate, or a simple green salad for balance. For brunch, serve alongside tofu scramble, roasted tomatoes, or a platter of fresh berries—every option lets the croissant broodjes shine.

Creative Ways to Present

Arrange your Vegan Croissant Broodjes in a basket lined with a colorful napkin, stack them on a rustic wooden board with mini jams and spreads, or display them as part of a brunch tower. For parties, skewer mini versions on cocktail sticks and serve with dipping sauces for a playful, shareable treat.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Once cooled completely, keep any leftover Vegan Croissant Broodjes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days—they’ll stay soft and lovely for snacking or breakfast!

Freezing

These vegan croissant rolls freeze beautifully. Simply place cooled broodjes in a freezer-safe bag or container, separating layers with parchment. They’ll keep for up to a month and can be reheated straight from frozen.

Reheating

To refresh, pop the Vegan Croissant Broodjes in a preheated oven at 160°C (320°F) for 5–8 minutes, or until heated through and crisp again. The microwave works in a pinch, but you’ll lose some of that signature flakiness.
