Blueberry Crumb Sweet Rolls

I love breakfast or let me correct that, I love pasties, rolls or anything sweet for breakfast. Coffee cake, crumbs cakes, cinnamon rolls, donuts, really any sort of sugary, fruit, dough like creation. Since summer started I have little more time on my hand to try some new things out, and being tired of making the same sort of rolls, I decided to make a tiny switch. I added a traditional crumb topping to my cinnamon roll recipe and paired it with some sweet-tart blueberries.

These rolls turned out better than I even imagined! They were amazingly delicious. My husband, who is not the biggest fan of anything sweet in the morning, loved this recipe! He said it was not overly sweet and actually suggest a glaze to top it with to compliment the blueberries and crumb topping.

We canโ€™t wait to make this again and I am super excited for you to try it.

  1. These look sooo good! Having neither a bread machine, patience, or time, do you think I could sub a packaged biscuit dough or something like that for the rolls?
