This Blueberry-Lemon Cinnamon Roll Breakfast Bake recipe is like a cool twist on bread pudding using fresh blueberries and canned cinnamon rolls with icing. What’s not to love about this breakfast bake that could also be eaten for dessert?
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.
