Delight in these Blueberry Cinnamon Rolls, a perfect blend of sweet cinnamon sugar and fresh blueberries rolled into a soft, tender dough. Baked to golden perfection and topped with a tangy lemon glaze, these rolls make an irresistible morning treat that’s sure to become a family favorite.


Ingredients

Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg

Filling

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

Icing

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the rolls evenly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder to create the dry base for the dough.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted unsalted butter, and egg until well blended.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined to form a soft dough.
  5. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold fresh blueberries into the dough to evenly distribute the fruit without crushing them.
  6. Shape Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle, preparing it for the cinnamon sugar filling.
  7. Add Filling: Evenly sprinkle ground cinnamon and brown sugar over the rolled-out dough, covering the surface.
  8. Roll and Cut: Roll the dough tightly from one edge into a log, then slice into individual rolls of even thickness.
  9. Prepare for Baking: Place the cut rolls into a greased baking dish, spacing them slightly to rise and bake.
  10. Bake Rolls: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  11. Make Icing: While the rolls bake, mix powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth to create a tangy icing.
  12. Glaze Rolls: Once the rolls are warm from the oven, drizzle the lemon icing over the top before serving for added sweetness and flavor.

Notes

  • For best results, do not overmix the dough to keep the rolls tender.
  • Use fresh blueberries to avoid excess moisture that can make the dough soggy.
  • Serve the rolls warm for optimal flavor and icing texture.
  • Optional: Add chopped nuts for extra crunch in the filling.
