Fresh blueberries rank among the best fruits that you can eat. One little cup has only 80 calories and supplies 25% of the daily recommended allowance of Vitamin C.

Blueberries also have fiber and are a source of manganese. You could say that blueberries are a little fruity powerhouse.

🥘 Ingredients

For this breakfast treat, blueberries are combined with a luscious, cream cheese, and lemon mixture. For the dough portion of the recipe, all you need is one package of Pillsbury™ Grands!™ refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing.

Fresh blueberries are rinsed in a yellow colander.

Ingredients that you need to make this blueberry breakfast casserole are:

  • Pillsbury™ Grands!™ refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
  • 8-ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 2 Tablespoons grated lemon zest

🔪How To Make Cinnamon Roll Casserole with Blueberries

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick spray.

In a large microwavable bowl, microwave cream cheese and powdered sugar uncovered on High for 30 to 60 seconds, stirring after 30 seconds, until softened. Stir until smooth. Stir in blueberries and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest.

Separate the dough into 5 rolls. (The icing needs to be placed back in the refrigerator.) Cut each roll into 6 pieces.

Next, add the biscuit pieces to the cream cheese mixture, and spoon it into the prepared baking dish.

⏲️ Baking Time

Pop the casserole in the oven for approximately 35 minutes.

Bake until the dish is bubbling around the edges and the dough is baked through in the center. Allow the casserole to cool 10 minutes.

Transfer the reserved icing to a small bowl and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon zest. Spoon the icing mixture into a small resealable food-storage plastic bag and partially seal the bag. Cut off a tiny corner of the bag and squeeze the bag to pipe the icing over the top of the breakfast bake.

    I don’t see where the “reserved” icing is coming from?

      Each can of Grands cinnamon rolls has icing inside it. When making this recipe, you set the icing aside until Step 4 of the recipe. My apologies if the directions seem confusing.

    Any idea if this would work in a slow cooker?
