Recipe Intro From cookim_mama
It’s actually more of a bread than a muffin and it’s slightly more elevated than your classic cinnamon roll. Perfect for spring! These blueberry “cinnamon rolls” have a pillowy soft brioche dough and are rolled with a lemon blueberry filling. Top it with your favorite icing and you have yourself the ultimate sweet treat. FYI I felt adventurous and ended up braiding them but it got kinda messy so I recommend not doing that and just forming them into a classic cinnamon roll shape.

Recipe Card
ingredients
- 200 grams whole milk
- 410 grams bread flour
- 45 grams sugar
- 5 grams instant yeast
- 3 grams kosher salt
- 5 tablespoons room temp butter
- 1 large egg, plus one yolk
Filling
ingredients
- 200 grams frozen blueberries
- 85 grams sugar
- Juice of half a lemon
- Zest of a lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 tablespoon corn starch, plus ½ tablespoon water
Method
Step 1
The night before: in the bowl of a stand mixer with hook attachment, combine all dough ingredients except for the butter. Knead for 5-8mins until the dough comes together then add the butter and knead for another 5-10mins until it’s smooth. Form into a ball, cover and let rise for 1hr (it won’t be quite doubled in size) then transfer to fridge for an overnight proof.
Step 2
The next morning: in a small pot over medium heat, combine blueberry filling ingredients except for the cornstarch mixture. Cook for 5-10mins until the juices are released then transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. Return the filling back into the pot and add the cornstarch. Cook for another 5-8mins until it thickens. Remove from heat and let cool (it will thicken further).
Step 3
Take the dough out of the fridge and roll it out to be 20”x18”. Spread the blueberry filling over the dough and then roll it into a log starting from the shorter end. Cut the log into 6 sections and place into a lightly greased jumbo muffin pan. Cover and let rise for 30mins-1hr.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 350F and bake for 25-30mins until golden brown. Serve with your favorite icing!
