When you bite into a blueberry cinnamon roll, the flavor is like nothing else.

Warm, sweet bread and juice from the berries will offer an irresistible flavor.

The cinnamon spices mix with the natural sweetness of the blueberries for a delightful combination that appeals to all senses.

To make these gooey cinnamon rolls, you’ll need:

• 2 packages of crescent roll sheets
• ¼ cup of unsalted butter, softened
• ½ cup of packed light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon of cinnamon
• 1 (13-ounce) jar of blueberry jam (or blueberry pie filling)
• 1 cup of fresh blueberries 

For The Optional Frosting:

• 1½ cups of powdered sugar
• ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract
• ⅛ cup of heavy cream
• 4 ounces of cream cheese, softened

Substitutions And Additions

CRESCENT DOUGH: If you can’t find crescent dough sheets, you can use a can of crescent rolls where the sheet is perforated for easily separating into individual crescents.

Unroll the sheet, keeping it intact as much as possible, and then pinch it together along the perforated lines to seal everything back up into a single sheet.

DOUGH: You can make this blueberry cinnamon rolls recipe with your favorite sweet roll dough instead of the crescent dough if you wish.

BLUEBERRIES: While this recipe calls for fresh blueberries, you can easily switch them out for frozen blueberries.

Just keep in mind that frozen berries may release more moisture during baking, which could result in slightly softer cinnamon rolls.

CINNAMON: If you’re out of cinnamon or just want to experiment with different flavors, try using nutmeg or cardamom instead.

Nutmeg will bring a warm, slightly nutty essence to your rolls, while cardamom will introduce a subtle, citrusy note.

NUTS: Add a delightful crunch and a dose of extra flavor by sprinkling chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts over the blueberry filling before rolling up the dough.

FROSTING: You can add blueberries to the optional cream cheese frosting to create a rich blueberry icing.

LEMON ZEST: A sprinkle of lemon zest can be added for a touch of bright citrus.

How To Make This Blueberry Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

Since this recipe starts with a premade dough, it’s really easy to make these delicious cinnamon rolls.

Once you unroll the dough, spread the buttery cinnamon sugar mixture, followed by the blueberry jam, and roll and slice the dough into equal pieces.

Bake until delicious and warm, and top with fresh blueberries and velvety cream cheese frosting.

These step-by-step instructions will result in sweet, decadent cinnamon rolls.

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Unroll one sheet of crescent dough onto a lightly floured surface or floured piece of parchment paper. 

STEP TWO: Mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl to form a paste.

STEP THREE: Use a spatula to spread half of the butter mixture over the crescent dough, almost to the edges.

Spread half of the blueberry jam over the butter/sugar mixture.

STEP FOUR: Roll the dough up tightly into a log, rolling along the short edge.

STEP FIVE: Slice the cinnamon roll dough into six 1½-inch wide pieces.

STEP SIX: Repeat with the second crescent sheet and the remaining filling ingredients.

STEP SEVEN: Place the cinnamon rolls in a lightly greased 9×13 baking dish. Sprinkle one cup of fresh blueberries over the cinnamon rolls.

STEP EIGHT: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, until the cinnamon rolls are lightly golden brown and cooked through.

STEP NINE: Beat or stir together optional frosting ingredients. Spread cream cheese frosting over warm cinnamon rolls.

How To Serve These Blueberry Sweet Rolls

These delightful sweet rolls would make the perfect breakfast casserole for special occasions.

For the blueberry lover, top with extra blueberry sauce before serving.

Add a warm mug of pumpkin spice latte or a homemade hot chocolate, and you’ll have a breakfast of champions.

To take your blueberry cinnamon roll breakfast to the next level, serve it with some creamy Greek yogurt and honey.

Storing These Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

We’ve got you covered with some essential storage tips and advice to ensure your rolls maintain their mouthwatering goodness.

ON THE COUNTER: If you have leftovers or want to save some blueberry cinnamon rolls for later, storing them in the refrigerator is a great option.

Once the rolls have completely cooled, transfer them to an airtight container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. The rolls can be stored in the fridge for up to three days.

To enjoy them, you can either eat them cold or reheat them for a few seconds in the microwave or toaster oven.

IN THE FREEZER: To extend the shelf life of your tasty cinnamon rolls, freezing them is a fantastic option.

After the rolls have cooled completely, individually wrap them in plastic wrap or place them in a freezer-safe container.

Make sure to label and date the package. Blueberry cinnamon rolls can be stored in the freezer for up to three months.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 2 crescent roll sheets
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
• ½ cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 13 ounces blueberry jam, or blueberry pie filling
• 1 cup fresh blueberries

Optional Frosting

• 1½ cups powdered sugar
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ⅛ cup heavy cream
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Unroll one sheet of crescent dough onto a lightly floured cutting board or floured piece of parchment paper.
• Mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl to form a paste.
• Use a spatula to spread half of the butter/sugar mixture over the crescent dough, almost to the edges. Spread half of the blueberry jam over the butter/sugar mixture (if your jam is thick, microwave it for 15 seconds at a time, just until it is spreadable).
• Roll the dough up tightly into a log, rolling along the short edge.
• Slice the roll into six 1½-inch wide pieces.
• Repeat with the second crescent sheet and the remaining filling ingredients.
• Place the cinnamon rolls in a lightly greased 9×13 baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup of fresh blueberries over the cinnamon rolls.
• Bake for 25 minutes, until the cinnamon rolls are lightly golden brown and cooked through.
• Beat or stir together optional frosting ingredients. Spread cream cheese over warm cinnamon rolls.

Notes

• If your jam is thick, microwave it for 15 seconds at a time, just until it is spreadable.
• Use a bench scraper to cleanly cut through the rolled dough. The dough will be soft and the insides gooey, so do your best to cut clean slices and then transfer them quickly into the baking dish. Don’t worry if they don’t look uniform, the cinnamon rolls will rise during baking and won’t be so wonky.
• Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to keep a close eye on your cinnamon rolls as the suggested baking time approaches.
• The cream cheese frosting is optional, or you may not use all of the frosting. You can also serve the frosting alongside the cinnamon rolls for those who want a little “extra.”
