Ingredients

  • 2 Packages of canned Cinnamon Rolls set icing aside
  • 1 ½ cups Blueberries washed and patted dry
  • 4 Eggs
  • ½ cup Milk
  • 1 tbsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Prepare Cinnamon Rolls: Open the packages of cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters. Spread the pieces evenly in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Add Blueberries: Sprinkle the blueberries evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces in the baking dish.
  • Make Egg Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Combine Ingredients: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls and blueberries in the baking dish. Gently press down on the mixture to ensure the cinnamon roll pieces are soaked with the egg mixture.
  • Bake: Bake uncovered for 40-45 or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown.
  • Add Icing: Once the casserole is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Warm the icing in the microwave for about 10 seconds then drizzle the icing over the top of the casserole.
  • Serve: Spoon out and serve warm. Enjoy your Blueberry Cinnamon Roll Casserole!

Notes

Storage and Reheating Instructions:

Store the casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the casserole. Place it in a freezer-safe container and store it for up to 2 months.
You can reheat on a microwave-safe plate and heat for 1-2 minutes or until warmed through.

Helpful Tips & Substitutions

Can This Be Made Ahead of Time?

Yes! Prepare casserole then cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake as directed. You might need to add an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time if the casserole is cold from the fridge.

Substitutions & Variations

  • Mixed Berries: Add a mix of raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries for a berry medley twist.
  • Nuts: Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the casserole before baking for added crunch.
  • Cream Cheese Icing: Mix the icing with a bit of softened cream cheese for a tangy and rich topping.

Helpful Cooking Notes

  • Grease the Baking Dish: Make sure to grease your baking dish well to prevent the casserole from sticking.
  • Press Down on the Mixture: Gently pressing down on the cinnamon roll pieces helps them absorb the egg mixture better, resulting in a more cohesive casserole.
  • Let it Cool Slightly: Allow the casserole to cool for about 10 minutes before drizzling the icing. This helps the icing to spread evenly without melting too quickly.
  • Serve Warm: This casserole is best served warm, fresh out of the oven. The gooey, warm cinnamon rolls combined with juicy blueberries and sweet icing are absolutely heavenly.
