A ridiculously easy breakfast sweet roll is yours in no time. No Yeast Blueberry Cinnamon Rolls are fluffy, tender biscuit dough sweet rolls filled with blueberry jam and topped with a sweet glaze.
I’ve been craving blueberry sweet rolls, but this time of year fresh blueberries are crazy expensive where I live. I decided to use blueberry jam and I actually like it better than fresh berries. The jam was sweeter and really worked better in the rolls.
These quick sweet rolls have a biscuit-like texture and are made with no yeast. Therefore, you can have this breakfast on your table in 30 minutes.
No Yeast Blueberry Cinnamon Rolls
Basically, you’ll make the biscuit dough. Next, spread the blueberry jam liberally over the dough. If you’re not a fan of blueberry jam, strawberry jam, peach preserves, blackberry jam, or fig preserves will also be wonderful.
It’s now time to roll the dough into a spiral and cut it into ten or twelve rolls. Place them in the pan and bake.
Bake the rolls for 23 to 25 minutes. Check the center roll for doneness. The center roll should be lightly browned, still soft, but not doughy.
If you want to frost them, mix the glaze ingredients in the last couple of minutes of cooking time. I like to pour the glaze out immediately after I take the rolls from the oven. If you glaze them when the rolls are hot, the glaze will run down into the crevices. However, if you wait until the rolls cool, the glaze will sit on top of the rolls and not really go into them. Frost them whichever way you prefer.
