What Is A Blueberry Breakfast Bake?
If you look around on the internet, you may be able to find all kinds of different versions of this recipe. It’s a lot like our Blueberry Cake, but with with cream cheese added so it’s a little richer. But, if you have been to our recipe site before, you know that we are all about simple, easy shortcuts to make delicious recipes. And one of our favorite shortcuts is to use cans of refrigerated biscuit dough! Some of the other recipes have you using day old bread, and some even need you to soak the ingredients overnight. With our recipe, you can have everything together in less than 5 minutes and ready to put in the oven!
Here is what you need to get started:
- 1 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 can biscuit dough, cut into small pieces (we used Pillsbury Grands 16.3 oz package)
- 2 cups blueberries
- 1 tablespoon sugar
What To Serve With This Recipe
This dish works perfectly well on it’s own. But if you want to round it out a bit more, it also goes great with a number of other things. For instance, anything salty would balance great with the sweetness of the casserole. So, bacon or sausage would be delicious. You could also find something to accent the fresh blueberries like a nice, simple fruit salad.
Can You Freeze This Recipe? And Other Storage Questions
Store leftovers in your fridge in a covered container. Microwaving for 30-45 seconds should do the trick to heat it up. We love to bake our dishes in this bakeware, that comes with it’s own lid that you can just keep on it when you put it in your refrigerator.
Yes, you can freeze your Blueberry Breakfast Casserole. Let it cool fully and wrap in freezer wrap, freezer bags or both. I’d recommend cutting your casserole up into individual servings and freezing them separately, so you can only take out, thaw and reheat what you need. Put your frozen casserole in the fridge the night before you want to eat it. Then reheat in the microwave as described above.
Notes, Tips and Variations
- CREAM CHEESE HACK– Your gonna need to mix your cream cheese with the other ingredients. So, for sure you want to make sure it’s softened. But I’ve also found that cutting it up into small cubes before mixing helps too. You may want to use a stand mixer to help you out. If you don’t have one, you really should get one! This one is super affordable and gets great reviews!
- ADD NUTS– I think this Blueberry Breakfast Casserole would be delicious with some nuts sprinkled on top. Walnuts or pecans would be great! Our son has a tree nut allergy, so we can’t do that!
- CAN YOU USE FROZEN BLUEBERRIES?– We certainly recommend fresh blueberries for this recipe and haven’t tried frozen. So we can’t say for sure. If using frozen, I’d toss them all in a bit of flour so they don’t bleed all over the place.
- ADD SYRUP– Drizzle with some nice, hot syrup before serving. Please use the real stuff, not the fake stuff!
- TRY IT WITH CINNAMON ROLLS?- We’ve had some people say they are going to try this by substituting the can of biscuits for a can of refrigerated cinnamon roll dough. This sounds like a fantastic idea! If you try it, let us know how it turns out!
- 2 QUART CASSEROLE DISH?– I’ve gotten some comments from users stating that they tried to make this in a 9X13 casserole dish. It did not get done in baking time allotted. So we suggest sticking with the e 2 Quart Casserole Dish.
We hope you enjoy this recipe for Blueberry Breakfast Bake! Please let us know how it turns out in the comments section below!

What is biscuits? Is that a dough biscuits or baked Bread?
Kathy says
I mention in the copy that I use refrigerated biscuit dough. I used the Pillsbury Grands 16.3 can of biscuit dough. I went back in and edited it to make that a little more obvious. Sorry for any confusion.
Fran says
Great recipe and your instructions was perfect .
Kathy says
Thanks so much for the comment!
Annette Hutzell says
I’m going to the store to get what I need to make this. Thanks for the recipe.
Kathy says
Yea! Come back and tell us how it turned out!
Suzieq says
This is good but definitely needs a longer cooking time than what is recommended. Mine did not get done in the middle.
Kathy says
Thanks for the feedback. Some people have done fine with the cooking time but a couple have said they needed a little extra time. Not sure what the discrepancy is…
Leslie Lyford says
Probably due to humidity or altitude.
Kathy says
Yes. And I think some are using a large casserole dish to bake in. I think it’s important to keep the 2 quart casserole dish.
Liddy says
I used the 2quart dish and followed exactly and middle didn’t cook. I did 30 mins. Then 15 and middle is still complete gooey mush! I’ve now added 20mins just to see but I’m guessing it’s a wash and I’ll just have to toss it. Bummer, it looked good!
Kathy says
Hmmm… We haven’t heard of that happening before. So sorry.
Jeanne Oldham says
Made it this morning, absolutely delicious and so easy!!!! Thank you 😊
Kathy says
Yay! So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the feedback!
Sheila Brickner says
I’m going to make this for my mama in the morning. She has Alzheimer’s and I try to do things that are familiar 4 her as long as I can keep her memory.
Kathy says
That is so sweet! You sound like a great daughter! Come back and tell us how she liked it!
KARLA says
The 2 qt was too small. The center did not cook complete even after adding time.
Kathy says
Hmmm.. I’m sorry. We haven’t heard of that happening anywhere else. Not sure what happened.
Jj says
Yes you have, it’s right here in your comments. Also, bigger pan equals less time to cook the middle always….(with the same amount of food). If people are doubling the recipe then they may need to bake it differently – i.e. covered, or with the middle of the pan empty or 1 layer only maybe? I’m not sure as I haven’t made it yet, but i have made up several of my own recipies that use the same type dough – so i know even the “flavor” of Grand’s can effect moisture and cook time… So I would recommend people use the original not butter tasting or any other flavor. Also if your cutting them and you see the 4 pack of little rolls that are usually much cheaper, i would use those, but the same weight and any “leftovers” can be rolled in melted butter then cinnamon + sugar or for a different meal I also would recommend garlic powder, minced garlic, and parmesan cheese or something along those lines to make a really tasty pull apart loaf of garlic bread! My very first home economics class how does make cinnamon rolls this way but they were more like cinnamon knots because we rolled each biscuit into a snake and then tied it in a knot and then rolled it in the butter and then the cinnamon sugar and then baked it a little bit longer than package directions- and to this day they make amazing cheater cinnamon rolls and are great fun for children!
Michael McMillen says
Awesome recipe!!! Everyone loved it. I think I’m going to add some brown sugar crumbles to try out for some Extra texture this time. I’ll let you know how it turns out.
Kathy says
Great suggestion! Thanks so much for the comment. And please come back to give us an update!
WANDA M BROWN says
Will this work in a 9X13 pyrex pan?
Kathy says
We’ve gotten some comments from people stating that they tried to use the 9X13 pan but it wasn’t getting done in the center. So I’d suggest using the 2 quart pan. If you need to use the large pan, you can try adding a couple minutes to the bake time.
Marcia Mauskopf says
Can this be assembled the night before?
Kathy says
We haven’t tried it. I know there are a fair amount of recipes like this that have you soak it overnight. But those usually use older, harder breads as an ingredient, not refrigerated biscuit dough.
If you try it, please come back and let us know how it worked out!
Jj says
I would not try that because the roles are designed to be baked immediately and any additional time out of the can not in the oven can affect their ability to rise – you can buy smaller refrigerator biscuits rather than the Grands brand and then you won’t have as many biscuits to cut into small pieces and they are typically less expensive so that would be an added bonus- and it would save a couple of minutes off of the prep time- but 5 minutes to get it ready is something I would recommend you not skip.
Deborah says
Use 9×13 the dough was still raw after an hour
Kathy says
Great thanks for the feedback. We always use a 2 quart dish for that reason.
Zina Nord says
I can’t wait to try this recipe!! Any suggestions on how to reduce the calories per serving?
Kathy says
I hope you like it!
You can use low fat cream cheese and/or low fat milk. That should shave off some calories.
Pelkey says
Can you substitute another fruit for blueberries?
Kathy says
We haven’t tried. But you could certainly give it a go! I think strawberries may work well! Or black or raspberries!
Jj says
Most berries can be used in “most” recipes with no changes… also you can do other fruits by your particular tastes – and it might change the bake time a little bit if you were to use something like apples I would recommend cooking it first- but if you’re going to do something else that is soft like berries are already – there is nothing you would even need to change!
Yolanda Ramirez says
Hi there,
Just make this tasty recipe.I added raspberries too and it gave it a very berry blast of flavor. After reading the comments, I added about an extra 10 minutes to the baking time to make sure the middle will bake evenly.I did use a 2 quart baking dish.
I plan to try the suggested brown sugar crumble topping next and even the pecans…..Thank you!!👍
Kathy says
Awesome! Thanks for giving us the feedback! Great idea with the raspberries!
Marge weinstock says
I will try it today.
Kathy says
Come back and let us know how you like it!
Jan C says
Is it possible to use cinnamon rolls instead? It would give it a different flavor.
Kathy says
Go for it! And please come back and let us know how it turned out. In fact, I’m going to edit the post to suggest others try that!
mary m andrews says
Can you use flaky biscuits or must they be regular ?
Kathy says
We used regular, but I’d be interested to see how the flaky turned out. Please come back and let us know!
Tracy L DeFelice says
I have been on an absolute 🫐 blueberry 🫐 kick for the past year+ and I am preparing this now. After reading the comments and/or incorporating suggestion(s), I am adding one little special something and will report back on the final outcome.
Kathy says
Yay!!!! Can’t wait to hear about it!
Janis says
Would you be able to make this ahead and freeze?
Kathy says
Yes, you can. I’ve updated the post to include freezing instructions. Thanks for the question.
LW says
Can I use frozen blueberries for this?
Kathy says
We certainly recommend fresh blueberries for this recipe and haven’t tried frozen. So we can’t say for sure. If using frozen, I’d toss them all in a bit of flour so they don’t bleed all over the place.
Jen says
I tried frozen blueberries, but they produce extra liquid once they thaw, and it takes longer for the liquid to absorb into the biscuits, so I think fresh is best
JEANINE says
I’m going to try this for Christmas morning…looks delicious. Just a suggestion: my kids all have but allergies and I always substitute with granola. Always a big hit with family and friends!
deb says
I’d like to double the recipe and put it in a 13×9 pan. I read your comment about it not turning out well… what do you think?
Nancy says
Made this but swapped marscapone for the cream cheese. It was so good, I’ve shared the recipe with friends and family!!!
Elizabeth says
The idea is good. I tried to make a biscuit and blueberry layered bake: cheese: biscuit, blueberry, cheese biscuit blueberry,cheese. I rolled the berries in cinnamon sugar before layering. Baked 350° for 40 minutes. I little mushy in the middle but that was the cheese sauce. Not as wonderful as I had hoped but very easy.
Judy Bradford says
Very good breakfast cake. I used an 8 x8 baking dish but I would recommend using a 7 x 11 so the center will not be doughy.
Kathy says
Thanks for the suggestion.
A Reid says
We just had this for a church breakfast! It was absolutely fabulous! We used frozen blueberries because that’s what we had. Doubled the recipe, in a 13×9 pan, and extended the baking time by 15 minutes. It came out just as flakey and moist as that picture made it look. Great recipe. Thank you for sharing with us.
Kathy says
So glad it worked out for you!
Amy says
I made this with frozen blueberries. I thawed them in the microwave until just cool to touch. Then I used a couple paper towels to soak up excess liquid. I tossed the berries in 1 T flour then the 1 T sugar. Ended up having to cook for about 48 mins. It was a hit, even with my picky one.
Lauren says
Great recipe! I also had to add 15 minutes to mine. I have a gas oven and using a ceramic 9×13 and used Trader Joe’s bisquit dough. Lots of variables can change cooking time, I just always anticipate casserole recipes have a 10-20 additional time 🙂
Kathy says
Glad it worked out for you and that you were able to improvise!
Betty says
So happy to find this recipe I had made it for a family gathering last August then lost it. Everyone loved it. I will be making again soon I couldn’t believe Pillsbury hasn’t added it to their website
Kathy says
So glad it worked out. Thanks for the kind comment!
Shar from N. California says
Hi Mandy.
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I am going to make this for my mom for Mother’s Day. She loved blueberries, and her favorite meal of the day was breakfast. She passed over 10 years ago but every year for Mother’s Day. I make her some thing that I knew she would like if she was here with me. This year, I am going to make your recipe. I like how it’s few ingredients and appears to be very simple to make. In spirit, she’ll enjoy it.
Thank you so much for sharing. 🙂
Kathy says
Oh, that is so sweet. We are honored you are using our recipe. Please let us know how it turned out!
Paula says
I’ve made this twice now. The instructions to use a 2 quart dish instead of a larger dish because it would cook faster in a smaller dish didn’t make sense to me, as that isn’t how life works. Any baked goods recipe will tell you more time for an 8×8 than a 13×9, because they are spread out more and heat reaches the center faster.
Anyway, I followed it exactly the first time (2 quart dish) and I had to bake it nearly double the time to get it to actually cook in the center. I used a 13×9 the second time and it cooked fully in the allotted time.
As for the recipe itself, it’s simple and easy. It probably won’t win any awards for depth of flavor, but it will feed the family with minimal effort and that’s exactly what I needed.
Kathy says
Thanks for the review. I understand what you are saying. We’ve gotten a lot of comments on here about baking times and dish sizes. I’m honestly confused as different people are seeming to have different experiences. My suggestion to use the 8X8 simply comes from the fact that that is what we used. I could see how a pan that has a “thinner” cake would bake faster. So people can certainly try that if it makes sense to them.
