5. Blueberry Streusel Croissant
Use fresh blueberries in season when you can to capture the sweet-tart flavor. The blueberry is the product of a flowering shrub that grows in clusters. Blueberries may be small but they pack a lot of punch when it comes to nutrition, and are low in calories and high in fiber.
They are the highest of all foods in antioxidant content, which along with the fiber contributes to lowering bad cholesterol. They are especially high in a nutrient called anthocyanin, which can help your vision. The high content of vitamin C means they’re great for your skin and can help stop acne, wrinkles and age spots in their tracks.
The high content of trace minerals means they are also great for maintaining bone density. Create a streusel topping from oats, butter and sugar to sprinkle over the blueberries to give a coffee cake feel and taste to the croissant.
