Soft and fluffy cinnamon rolls swirled with sweet blueberry jam and topped with a rich maple icing. Perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm milk
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 – 1 cup blueberry jam
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 2–3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- flaky sea salt
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine warm milk, yeast, and brown sugar. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until bubbly.
- Add melted butter, eggs, flour, and salt. Mix until fully incorporated, about 4–5 minutes. If dough is sticky, add additional flour as needed until smooth.
- Cover the bowl and let the dough rise at room temperature for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Lightly butter a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Punch down the dough and roll into a 12×18 inch rectangle on a floured surface. Spread blueberry jam evenly and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log and seal the edges. Slice into 12–15 rolls and place into the prepared baking dish. Cover and let rest while the oven preheats.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
- In a bowl, whisk powdered sugar, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Thin with milk or water if needed.
- Spread icing over warm rolls, sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired, and serve.
Notes
- Use homemade or store-bought blueberry jam depending on preference.
- If dough is too sticky, add flour gradually to avoid over-drying.
- Rolls can be prepared the night before and refrigerated before baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Warm slightly before serving for best texture and flavor.
