Blueberry Cinnamon Roll Casserole Ingredients
- 1 can Pillsbury Grands! Cinnamon Rolls (including icing packet)
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or thawed frozen, drained)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and spray a 9-inch round or square baking pan with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate them. Keep the icing packet aside for later. Cut each cinnamon roll into 6 pieces and arrange these pieces evenly in the prepared baking pan.
- Add Blueberries: Evenly sprinkle the blueberries over and in between the cinnamon roll pieces, distributing the fruit throughout the casserole for balanced flavor.
- Make Butter Sugar Mixture: In a small bowl, mix together the melted unsalted butter and packed brown sugar until well combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces and blueberries to create a sweet glaze during baking.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25–35 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Apply Icing and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and immediately drizzle the reserved icing packet over the hot casserole. Let it sit for a few minutes to set slightly before serving warm.
Notes
- Use fresh or thawed frozen blueberries, ensuring they are well drained to prevent excess moisture in the casserole.
- Adjust baking time slightly based on your oven; look for a golden brown top and cooked through center.
- You can substitute the butter with a dairy-free alternative to make it lactose-free if desired.
- For added flavor, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg over the blueberries before adding the butter mixture.
- Serve warm for best texture and flavor, pairing well with coffee or tea.
