Cook Time: 2 hrs 30 mins
Total Time: 2 hrs 50 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8-10 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can of refrigerated cinnamon roll dough
- 1 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. If you are using fresh blueberries, rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. If using frozen blueberries, there's no need to thaw them, but you may want to rinse them to reduce excess ice.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gently toss the mixture until the blueberries are well-coated with the sugar and spice mixture. This will help to enhance the flavor and create a nice sauce while cooking.
- Open the can of refrigerated cinnamon roll dough and separate the rolls. Cut each roll into quarters. This will allow the dough to better absorb the flavors and meld with the blueberries during cooking.
- In your crock pot, layer the blueberry mixture evenly across the bottom. Then, add the quartered cinnamon roll pieces on top of the blueberries. Try to distribute them as evenly as possible to ensure every bite has a mix of blueberry and cinnamon roll.
- Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 2 hours and 30 minutes. This slow cooking process will allow the cinnamon rolls to rise and the blueberries to bubble and create a delicious sauce.
- After the cooking time is complete, check the consistency of the cobbler. The cinnamon rolls should be cooked through and the blueberries should be soft and juicy. If needed, let it cook for an additional 10-15 minutes.
- Once done, turn off the crock pot and let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to settle and make it easier to scoop.
- Serve the blueberry cinnamon roll cobbler warm, optionally drizzling with icing from the cinnamon roll can or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
- Enjoy your delicious Crock Pot Blueberry Cinnamon Roll Cobbler, perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a special brunch occasion!
Tips
- Choose Your Blueberries Wisely: Fresh blueberries offer the best flavor, but frozen work just as well. If using frozen, don't thaw them first to prevent excess moisture.
- Even Distribution is Key: When adding the quartered cinnamon roll pieces, try to spread them as evenly as possible to ensure every serving gets a perfect blend of blueberries and pastry.
- Don't Overcook: Keep an eye on your cobbler during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Every crock pot can vary slightly in temperature, so check for doneness to prevent burning.
- Serving Suggestions: For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle the included icing from the cinnamon roll package or top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Make-Ahead Tip: You can prepare the blueberry mixture and cut the cinnamon rolls the night before, storing them separately in the refrigerator to save time in the morning.
- Storage: This cobbler is best served warm but can be refrigerated for 2-3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven before serving.
