Indulge in these incredibly fluffy blueberry cinnamon rolls featuring a zesty lemon glaze and a bursting berry filling.

  • Total Time: 2 hours
  • Yield: 12 rolls 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup warm milk (110°F)
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg, room temperature
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp ground cinnamon
1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
2 tbsp lemon juice (for glaze)

Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy and bubbly.
Step 2: Stir in the melted butter and egg. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Step 3: Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
Step 4: Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a 12x18 inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
Step 5: Spread softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon. Evenly distribute the fresh blueberries over the top.
Step 6: Roll the dough tightly into a log starting from the long edge. Cut into 12 even slices using a sharp knife or dental floss.
Step 7: Place the rolls in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
Step 8: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes until the blueberry cinnamon rolls are golden brown.
Step 9: Whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice. Drizzle the glaze over the rolls while they are still warm and serve.

Notes

Ensure your yeast is fresh for the best rise. Using dental floss to cut the dough prevents squishing the blueberries.
