Ingredients
- 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Open the refrigerated cinnamon roll cans and carefully separate each roll. Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters to create bite-sized pieces.
- Arrange the quartered cinnamon roll pieces evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a single layer that covers the entire surface.
- Sprinkle fresh blueberries evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces, distributing them throughout the dish.
- In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup and ground cinnamon until well combined. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls and blueberries.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and the blueberries are bubbling.
- While the bake is cooking, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth and drizzling consistency is achieved.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Drizzle the prepared glaze over the warm Blueberry Cinnamon Roll Bake, ensuring even coverage.
- Serve warm and enjoy immediately. The dish can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
Tips
- Use Fresh Blueberries: For the best flavor, opt for fresh blueberries instead of frozen. They will burst beautifully during baking, adding a vibrant touch to your dish.
- Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on your bake as it cooks. You want the cinnamon rolls to be golden brown and the blueberries to be bubbling, but overbaking can lead to dry rolls.
- Customize Your Glaze: Feel free to add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of salt to the glaze for an extra flavor boost. You can also substitute almond milk for a nutty twist!
- Serve Warm: This dish is best enjoyed warm right out of the oven. If you have leftovers, reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to restore their fluffy texture.
- Perfect for Meal Prep: Make this dish ahead of time! Assemble it the night before, cover it, and refrigerate. In the morning, pop it in the oven for a quick and easy breakfast.
