Weekend breakfast got a lot better once I nailed these blueberry Danish. A fathead dough base cradles a pocket of sweetened cream cheese with fresh blueberries dotted on top. They puff at the edges and the berries burst into little jammy spots in the oven.
Delicious Keto Blueberry Danish for a Perfect Breakfast
This keto-friendly blueberry Danish features a rich almond flour pastry filled with a luscious blueberry mixture. It’s easy to prepare and takes about 30 minutes from start to finish, serving 8 pieces.
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup erythritol or sweetener of choice
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
- Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the Pastry Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Add melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until a dough forms.
- Prepare the Blueberry Filling: In a saucepan, combine blueberries, lemon juice, and cornstarch (if using) over medium heat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the blueberries are softened and juicy. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Assemble the Danish: Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper into a rectangle. Cut into squares and place a spoonful of blueberry filling in the center of each square. Fold the corners of each square over the filling and pinch to seal.
- Bake: Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the Danishes warm or at room temperature.

Press a well into the dough for the filling so the cream cheese does not run off the sides. Use fresh berries if you can, since frozen ones weep and make the centers soggy. Warm from the oven with coffee, they taste like a real bakery morning.
