Description
Blueberry Cinnamon Rolls are soft, fluffy sweet rolls filled with cinnamon sugar and juicy blueberries, then topped with rich cream cheese frosting for the perfect breakfast treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm milk
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk with a teaspoon of sugar and let sit for 10 minutes until frothy.
2. Add the remaining sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, and gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
5. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together.
6. Roll the dough into a large rectangle and brush with melted butter.
7. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the dough and scatter the blueberries on top.
8. Roll the dough tightly from the long side and pinch the seam to seal.
9. Cut the roll into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
10. Cover and let the rolls rise again for about 30 minutes until puffed.
11. Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake the rolls for 25 minutes until golden brown.
12. To make the frosting, beat the cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
13. Spread the frosting over the warm cinnamon rolls before serving.
Notes
Press the blueberries lightly into the dough before rolling to help keep them evenly distributed.
If the rolls brown too quickly while baking, loosely tent them with foil.
Add lemon zest to the filling or dough for a bright citrus flavor.
Use unscented dental floss for cleanly slicing the dough into rolls.
