Crockpot Blueberry Cinnamon Rolls
OMG! Who would have ever thought! You must pin/print this Crockpot Blueberry Cinnamon Rolls Recipe! It’s amazing!
I have the best Strawberry Cinnamon Roll Recipe on my other blog A Few Short Cuts. I have really wanted to try them in the crockpot, but I guess I was chicken. Why mess with a good thing? So today was the day, I turned those Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls into these Crockpot Blueberry Cinnamon Rolls and boy am I glad I did. They turned out amazing!
Crockpot Blueberry Cinnamon Rolls
Follow the cinnamon roll dough recipe below. It is so easy, and very tasty. I split the dough into 2 equal parts since my 6 qt crockpot is smaller than a baking dish. 6 rolls went into the crockpot today, and the rest of the dough got wrapped up tight and put in the fridge for another day this week. You could even freeze it. 🙂
I rolled out the dough into a rectangle and spread blueberry preserves over the top. Then sprinkled with a little bit of cinnamon.
Roll the dough up and slice into 1 inch thick rolls. You should get at least 6 from half of the dough.
Now line your crockpot with parchment paper. This just keeps the rolls from sticking and makes clean up and removal a breeze. Space out your 6 Blueberry Cinnamon Rolls, place the lid on, and turn the crockpot on high for 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours. Time varies because all crockpots are a little different.
I like this method because you don’t have to wait for the dough to rise. It does the rising and baking right in the crockpot. This is what my rolls looked like after 1 hour and 40 minutes. PERFECT!
I made a simple lemon glaze with 1 cup of powdered sugar and 1 tsp of lemon juice. If you just want a plain glaze substitute milk for the lemon juice.
Use the parchment paper to lift your Blueberry Cinnamon Rolls right out of the crockpot and drizzle with the glaze.
You are left with a little piece of heaven on a plate! YUM!
