Two Taste Variations
Each variations use the identical high-protein Greek yogurt base dough. The magic is within the toppings!
🫐 Triple Berry: Topped with a colourful mixture of frozen strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, then drizzled with maple syrup earlier than serving. These style like berry pancakes in bun kind.
🥐 Raspberry Almond Croissant: Topped with frozen raspberries and sliced almonds, then dusted with powdered sugar. These have a bakery-croissant vibe — nutty, buttery, and just a bit fancy.
Elements You Want
The bottom dough is precisely the identical for each flavors. Right here’s what you’ll want:
- All-purpose flour: AP flour is the bottom of this dough. It helps create the proper crispy and chewy dough when baked. I’ve not examined this recipe (but) with gluten-free AP flour or almond flour.
- Baking powder: As a result of this dough doesn’t have any yeast, it wants baking powder as a leavening agent. Don’t skip it!
- Baking soda: You’ll additionally want baking soda for completely fluffy buns.
- Greek yogurt: I examined this recipe with Skyr yogurt, Greek yogurt, and blended cottage cheese, and all had been nice at including each protein and the correct amount of moisture. Painterland Sisters skyr yogurt is my jam in the event you haven’t tried it but.
- Egg: The egg helps the buns hold their form.
- Maple syrup: As a result of these buns are on the sweeter facet, you’ll use somewhat maple syrup within the dough. It enhances the berry taste fairly properly.
- Berries: For the triple berry model, use frozen blended berries (or recent). For the raspberry almond croissant, use frozen raspberries.
- Sliced almonds + powdered sugar (raspberry almond model solely): These give the raspberry almond croissant variation its bakery-style end.

Greek Yogurt vs. Blended Cottage Cheese
I’ve examined this recipe with Greek yogurt, skyr yogurt and blended cottage cheese and technically all of them work, though I do desire the Greek yogurt or skyr yogurt variation. Why? Greek yogurt makes these buns a bit extra fluffy whereas cottage cheese will make the buns a bit extra dense and savory.
