Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated cinnamon roll dough
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup icing (from cinnamon roll can)
Instructions
- Prepare your crockpot by lightly greasing the interior with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Open the refrigerated cinnamon roll can and carefully separate each roll. Do not unroll them completely.
- In a small mixing bowl, gently combine fresh or frozen blueberries with sugar and ground cinnamon, ensuring the blueberries are evenly coated.
- Place the blueberry mixture in the center of each cinnamon roll, gently pressing the berries into the dough.
- Arrange the prepared cinnamon rolls in the crockpot, placing them in a circular pattern with minimal overlap. They will expand during cooking.
- Pour the milk evenly over the rolls to help keep them moist during slow cooking.
- Cover the crockpot with its lid and set to low heat. Cook for approximately
- 5 to 3 hours, checking occasionally to prevent burning.
- The rolls are done when they are fully risen, golden around the edges, and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the rolls from the crockpot using a spatula.
- Drizzle the included icing from the cinnamon roll can over the warm rolls, allowing it to melt slightly.
- Let the rolls cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
Tips
- Grease Your Crockpot Well: To ensure your cinnamon rolls come out easily, don’t skip the step of greasing your crockpot with cooking spray or butter. This will prevent any sticky situations!
- Don’t Overstuff the Rolls: When adding the blueberry mixture, be careful not to overfill the cinnamon rolls. A little goes a long way, and you want to avoid any spillage that could make a mess.
- Monitor Cooking Time: Every crockpot cooks a bit differently, so keep an eye on your rolls as they bake. Start checking for doneness around the
- 5-hour mark to ensure they don’t burn.
- Serve Warm: For the best experience, serve the cinnamon rolls warm. The icing will melt perfectly, creating a gooey topping that complements the blueberries beautifully.
- Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to get creative! Try adding a splash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of nutmeg to the blueberry mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
- Store Leftovers Properly: If you have any rolls left over, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They can be reheated in the microwave for a quick breakfast treat!
