Description

Soft and fluffy blueberry cinnamon rolls filled with a sweet blueberry-cinnamon mixture and topped with a rich blueberry cream cheese frosting.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
  • 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed
  • 1/4 cup water, warmed
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp blueberry puree
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
  2. Add warm milk, water, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Let it rise in a greased bowl for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  4. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine blueberries, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat until thickened. Set aside to cool.
  5. Roll the dough into a rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the blueberry filling over the dough evenly.
  6. Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into 9-12 rolls. Place them in a greased baking dish.
  7. Cover and let the rolls rise again for 30-45 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  9. In a bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, blueberry puree, and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy.
  10. Spread the frosting over warm rolls before serving.

Notes

  • You can use frozen blueberries; just don’t thaw them before cooking.
  • For a stronger blueberry flavor, add a bit of blueberry extract to the frosting.
  • These rolls can be made ahead and reheated before serving.
