Description

This Blueberry Cinnamon Roll Casserole is a delightful and easy-to-make breakfast dish that combines soft, gooey cinnamon rolls with fresh or frozen blueberries, baked to golden perfection. Topped with a warm drizzle of cinnamon roll icing, it’s a perfect sweet treat for weekend mornings or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale

Cinnamon Rolls and Fruit

  • 2 cans (8-count) cinnamon rolls, cut into quarters (icing reserved)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Baking Mixture

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Optional Add-ins

  • 1 tsp lemon zest (optional, for a tangy twist)
  • 2 oz cream cheese, cut into cubes (optional, for added creaminess)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Arrange Cinnamon Rolls: Cut the cinnamon rolls into quarters and spread them evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. This forms the base of the casserole.
  3. Add Blueberries: Sprinkle 1 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces. This adds bursts of fruity flavor throughout the dish.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon until fully combined. This custard mixture will soak into the rolls and berries.
  5. Pour and Bake: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls and blueberries. Optionally, stir in lemon zest or cream cheese cubes before pouring for added flavor and texture. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the casserole is golden brown and set in the center.
  6. Add Icing: While the casserole is baking, warm the reserved cinnamon roll icing slightly to loosen its consistency. Once baked, drizzle the warm icing generously over the top of the casserole. Optionally, sprinkle additional powdered sugar or drizzle maple syrup for extra sweetness.

Notes

  • You can use fresh or frozen blueberries depending on availability; no need to thaw if using frozen.
  • Adding lemon zest or cream cheese cubes gives a fresh tangy or creamy dimension to the dish, but they are optional.
  • Ensure the baking dish is greased well to prevent sticking and aid easy serving.
  • This casserole is best served warm, fresh out of the oven, for gooey and soft textures.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the microwave.
