Print Recipe

Warm, buttery, and impossibly comforting, this Maple Pecan Sticky Croissant Bake turns simple croissants into a gooey, nutty dessert, perfect for brunch or a weekend treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 large buttery croissants, cut into large bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 baking dish.
  2. Cut the croissants into large bite-sized pieces and spread them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Add the chopped pecans evenly over the croissant pieces.
  4. Make the maple sauce by melting the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in maple syrup, brown sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt, whisking until combined.
  5. Thicken the sauce for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly until glossy.
  6. Combine the warm maple mixture evenly over the croissants and pecans, allowing it to soak briefly.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden and bubbling.
  8. Rest for 10 minutes before serving, and dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

For better soaking, use slightly stale croissants. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
