Streusel-Topped Lemon Blueberry Sweet Rolls

Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 25 minutes
Yields: 12 rolls

Get ready to indulge in the most scrumptious, sweet, and tangy treat that will make your taste buds do the happy dance – Lemon Blueberry Sweet Rolls. These babies are packed with juicy blueberries, a hint of lemon zest, and a crumbly streusel topping that will make you weak in the knees.

First things first, let’s talk about the dough. It’s the same recipe used for cinnamon rolls, but without the cinnamon (obviously!). You can use fresh or frozen blueberries, but make sure those frozen ones are thawed and patted dry to avoid a soggy mess.

Now, let’s get our hands dirty! In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes, or until the yeast is activated and frothy.

Add in flour, salt, and a bit more sugar, and mix until a shaggy dough forms. Knead that dough for 10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot for about an hour, or until it’s doubled in size.

While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Mix together blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon zest. Yes, it’s that simple!

Roll out the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick. Spread the blueberry mixture evenly, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Roll the dough into a tight log, cut it into 12 equal pieces, and place them in a greased baking dish. Cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8-18 hours, or overnight.

The next morning, remove the baking dish from the fridge and let it sit in a warm spot for 1-2 hours, or until the rolls are puffy.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

While the rolls are baking, prepare the streusel topping. Mix together flour, granulated sugar, and cold butter until crumbly.

Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle with a sweet and tangy lemon glaze, and sprinkle with streusel topping.

These sweet rolls are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even as a snack. They’re soft, fluffy, and utterly delicious.

So, what are you waiting for? Get baking and indulge in these scrumptious Lemon Blueberry Sweet Rolls!

And don’t forget to store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2-3 months and thaw overnight in the fridge.

Happy baking!
