Blueberry Crumb Sweet Rolls with fresh blueberries & a creamy cinnamon center, then topped with a crumb topping, marrying two morning favorites.
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 can’t wait to make this again and I am super excited for you to try it.
Enjoy! XOXO San

Kids review: They loved it! Some ate the crumb topping off first but in the end there was nothing left of any of their rolls. Huge hit!

I love sweet stuff for breakfast too even though I try to stay away from it but every once in a while you just have to have something just like these blueberry sweet rolls. And these look so yummy especially with the crumb crust. Pinning for breakfast soon! Thanks for sharing on Cast Party Wednesday.

Help required please, what can I use in place of ‘Pudding Mix’ & White/Yellow Cake Mix’, as here in the U.K. we don’t have them. How I wish that we did…
I see them in listed in lots of recipes that I would love to try, I am unable to as I’ve no idea of what I can use as a substitute, any ideas please?
I have thought of trying to leave them out & try recipe, I can’t see it working as it will alter the whole ‘chemical balance/reaction & taste of finished result of these sweet rolls’.
Any ideas would be very welcome!!!
Sandra, these rolls look beautiful wish I had all ingredients to make these, love crumb topping, I could eat some now with a cuppa!!!!!
Thanks for posting, Odelle Smith x UK. odelleasmith@gmail.com
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?
