Ingredients
refrigerated cinnamon rolls
12.5 ounces (with icing, divided in half)
frozen blueberries
1 cup (thawed and well drained)
blueberry preserves
1/3 cup (none)
finely shredded lemon peel
1 teaspoon (none)
chopped pecans
1/4 cup (toasted)
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
Lightly grease 16 muffin cups that are 2 1/2 inches in diameter.
3
Open the package of refrigerated cinnamon rolls and set the icing aside for later use.
4
Take each cinnamon roll and cut it in half crosswise. Gently press one half into the bottom of each muffin cup, ensuring it comes about 1/2 inch up the sides. Repeat with the remaining roll halves until all muffin cups are prepared.
5
In a medium bowl, combine the thawed and well-drained blueberries, blueberry preserves, and finely shredded lemon peel. Mix gently until the blueberries are evenly coated.
6
Spoon the blueberry filling into each muffin cup, distributing it evenly over the cinnamon roll bases. Sprinkle the chopped and toasted pecans on top of the filling for added crunch.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
8
Once baked, allow the rolls to cool in the muffin cups on a wire rack for about 5 minutes. After that, gently remove the rolls from the cups and place them directly on the wire rack to cool for an additional 5 minutes.
9
While the rolls are cooling, prepare the icing by placing it in a small bowl. If needed, stir in a small amount of milk until the icing reaches a drizzleable consistency.
10
Drizzle the prepared icing generously over the warm rolls and serve immediately for the best flavor.
