How to Make Berry Breakfast Rolls

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease a 16-cup muffin tin.
  3. Cut each cinnamon roll in half crosswise, creating 16 short, round rolls.
  4. Press each roll half into a muffin cup, forming a cup shape.
  5. In a bowl, gently mix together 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen), 1/4 cup preserves (your choice – apricot or berry recommended), and 1 teaspoon lemon zest.
  6. Spoon the blueberry mixture evenly into each muffin cup.
  7. Sprinkle 1/4 cup chopped pecans over the blueberry filling in each cup.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Let cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Drizzle with your favorite icing (recipe not included, but a simple powdered sugar glaze works well).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
