These warm cinnamon rolls are packed with blueberry flavor and smothered in a thick cream cheese frosting that is super simple to make, great for weekends, or even a special occasion.
Unroll one sheet of crescent dough onto a lightly floured cutting board or floured piece of parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon to form a paste.
Use a spatula to spread half of the butter/sugar mixture over the crescent dough, almost to the edges. Spread half of the blueberry jam over the butter/sugar mixture (if your jam is thick, microwave it for 15 seconds at a time, just until it is spreadable.)
Roll the dough up tightly into a log; rolling along the short edge.
Slice the roll into 6 - 1 ½ inch wide pieces.
Repeat with the second crescent sheet and remaining filling ingredients.
Place the cinnamon rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup of fresh blueberries over the cinnamon rolls.
Bake for 25 minutes, until the cinnamon rolls are lightly browned and cooked through.
Beat or stir together optional frosting ingredients. Spread cream cheese over warm cinnamon rolls.
Notes
Storage: Store cooled cinnamon rolls in an airtight container on the countertop for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.Notes: If you can’t find the full crescent dough sheets, you can use a can of crescent rolls - the sheet is perforated for easily separating into individual crescents. Unroll the sheet, keeping it intact as much as possible and then pinch together along the perforated lines to seal everything back up into a single sheet.You can make this recipe with your favorite sweet roll dough instead of the crescent dough if you wish.The cream cheese frosting is optional. You may not use all of the frosting. You can also serve the frosting alongside the cinnamon rolls for those who want a little “extra.”Use a bench scraper to cleanly cut through the cinnamon roll. The dough will be soft and the insides gooey so do your best to cut clean slices and then transfer quickly into the baking dish. Don’t worry - the cinnamon rolls will rise during baking and won’t be so wonky.
