Description
Soft, fluffy homemade blueberry cinnamon rolls filled with juicy blueberries and a sweet cinnamon sugar mixture, topped with a creamy glaze.
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk, lukewarm
- 2 1/4 tsp active yeast
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 egg, beaten
- 3 1/2 cups flour
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter, room temperature
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 2 tbsp softened cream cheese
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- In a bowl, activate yeast in warm milk and let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
- Add sugar, melted butter, salt, egg, and gradually mix in flour to form a soft dough.
- Knead the dough for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon for the filling.
- Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle on a floured surface.
- Spread room temperature butter over the dough, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture, and evenly distribute the blueberries.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into 12 equal pieces.
- Place rolls into a greased baking dish and let rise until puffy (about 30 minutes).
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake the rolls for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Meanwhile, whisk together confectioners’ sugar, cream cheese, milk, and vanilla until smooth to make the glaze.
- Drizzle glaze over warm rolls before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries, but if using frozen, do not thaw to avoid excess moisture.
- These rolls are best enjoyed warm, fresh out of the oven.
- You can prepare the dough the night before and refrigerate before the second rise.
