I kept thinking about Blueberry Rolls. A friend shared them on her blog a few years ago and when I saw the recipe I knew I wanted to try them. Ever since, every so often, I have this urge to make Blueberry Rolls.
My next question was, “Where do I find a gluten-free cinnamon roll recipe?”
WELL. Google, of course.
I found this Cinnabon Copycat recipe over on a gluten free blog called Recreating Happiness.
I printed it right out.
If you are interested, go check out her post. She even has a nifty video showing some tips and tricks for working with the dough.
Gluten-free dough is just a different thing than lovely, yeasty wheat flour dough.
It’s sensitive and it does not have the elasticity that regular bread dough has.
Rolling it out between plastic wrap works wonderfully.
I used the dough recipe from Recreating Happiness, but I did a blueberry filling and a different glaze than she did. I’ll share that below.
If you just want cinnamon rolls, you can stick with her recipe.
I melt 1-2 T. of butter in the bottom of my pie plate that I’m going to bake my rolls in. It adds extra yumminess.
I melted my butter and sprinkled cinnamon on it before I added the blueberry mixture. It makes gooey rolls. I do this for regular wheat flour rolls.
HOWEVER, when I make these again I think I will try using softened butter.
With the softness and harder handling of the gluten-free dough, the melted butter just makes it trickier yet.
Blueberry filling!
My regular blueberry rolls usually end up rather a mess when it comes to rolling them up and slicing them.
These were worse!
BUT WAIT FOR IT.
THEY WERE SO GOOD.
SO GOOD.

If you are wanting beautiful rolls, well mine weren’t. They weren’t the huge, bakery perfect rolls.
But they were delicious.
I glazed them when they were warm and they reminded me of my favorite apple fritters from a grocery store in my hometown. But blueberry. Not apple.
I seriously want to make these again. I’m so happy with how they turned out!

Here are my tweaks for the Blueberry Filling ~
Ingredients
- Blueberry Filling:
- 2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 T. Ultra Gel
- 1 1/2 T. water
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- cinnamon
- Glaze:
- Scant 2/3 cup milk
- 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
Instructions
Toss blueberries and sugar together. Add Ultra Gel. Mix in water.
Micro-cook for 3-4 minutes. Stir and cook until thickened. Approximately 2-4 more minutes.
Add lemon juice. Cool.
Spread your dough with butter and sprinkle liberally with cinnamon.
Spread blueberry filling on top.
Roll up, slice and place in pan to bake. Follow instructions from dough for rise time and baking.
Whisk glaze together while rolls are baking.
Pour glaze on rolls as soon as they come out of the oven.
It will melt and run down into the rolls and make a crusty sweet glaze.

These look amazing! We love anything with blueberries.
Now I have a question because we are not gluten free at our house…could I use pie crust?
Happy Thoughts of Home! Pinning. 🙂
You can use regular yeast dough from any cinnamon roll recipe.
In this post, I have a link to my friend’s blog with her Blueberry Roll recipe. https://adelightfulglow.com/blueberry-rolls/
I have a recipe for butterhorns here and the dough could be used for the rolls, too! 🙂

I’m on week 2 of living gluten free and I truly am feeling better. I have missed my breakfast foods such as pastries so I can’t wait to try this.
Thank you so much for linking up on Thoughts of Home on Thursday.
Oh, I’m glad you’re feeling better!! I’ve learned in the past couple of years, how much it affects everything when you don’t feel well.
I really loved these! I think better than my wheat flour rolls! They’re messy to make, but worth it!
