Description

Blueberry Cinnamon Rolls are soft, fluffy pastries swirled with sweet cinnamon sugar and juicy blueberries, topped with a rich cream cheese frosting. These homemade blueberry cinnamon rolls are the perfect brunch or breakfast treat, bursting with fruity flavor and irresistible creaminess!


Ingredients

For the Dough:

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) instant yeast

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 3/4 cup warm milk (about 110°F)

  • 1 large egg

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (or thawed, drained frozen blueberries)

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

  • Prepare the Dough:
    In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix warm milk, egg, and melted butter. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 30–45 minutes, until doubled in size.

  • Assemble the Rolls:
    Roll out the dough into a 12×18-inch rectangle. Spread softened butter over the dough, sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon, and scatter blueberries over the surface. Roll the dough tightly from the long edge into a log and cut into 12 even slices.

  • Bake:
    Place rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for another 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown.

  • Make the Frosting:
    Beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy and spreadable.

  • Serve:
    Spread the cream cheese frosting over the warm rolls and serve immediately.


Notes

  • If using frozen blueberries, ensure they are thawed and well-drained to avoid extra moisture.

  • For extra sweetness, drizzle a little glaze before the frosting.

  • Rolls can be prepped the night before and baked fresh in the morning.
