Blueberry Cinnamon Rolls

Soft, fluffy cinnamon rolls filled with a sweet blueberry filling and topped with a creamy cream cheese frosting.

Ingredients:

For the Dough:

1 cup warm milk (about 110°F/43°C)

2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)

¼ cup granulated sugar

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

4 cups all-purpose flour

For the Filling:

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

½ cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

4 ounces cream cheese, softened

¼ cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

Prepare the Dough:

In a large bowl, combine warm milk and a teaspoon of granulated sugar. Sprinkle active dry yeast over the top and let sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.

Add the remaining granulated sugar, melted butter, salt, and eggs to the yeast mixture. Mix well.

Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Prepare the Filling:

In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and ground cinnamon.

Ensure the blueberries are washed and dried; if using frozen blueberries, thaw and drain them well.

Assemble the Rolls:

Punch down the risen dough and turn it onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it into a rectangle approximately 16×12 inches.

Brush the rolled-out dough with melted butter, leaving a ¼-inch border unbuttered.

Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough.

Distribute the blueberries evenly over the cinnamon-sugar layer.

Starting from the long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log and pinch the seam to seal.

Cut the log into 12 equal slices and place them cut-side up in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

Cover the dish with a clean cloth and let the rolls rise for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.

Bake:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the rolls for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly while preparing the frosting.

Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting:

In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.

Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue beating until well combined and fluffy.

Frost and Serve:

Spread the cream cheese frosting over the warm rolls.

Serve warm and enjoy!
