A ridiculously easy breakfast sweet roll is yours in no time. No Yeast Blueberry Cinnamon Rolls are fluffy, tender biscuit dough sweet rolls filled with blueberry jam and topped with a sweet glaze.
I’ve been craving blueberry sweet rolls, but this time of year fresh blueberries are crazy expensive where I live. I decided to use blueberry jam and I actually like it better than fresh berries. The jam was sweeter and really worked better in the rolls.
These quick sweet rolls have a biscuit-like texture and are made with no yeast. Therefore, you can have this breakfast on your table in 30 minutes.
No Yeast Blueberry Cinnamon Rolls
Basically, you’ll make the biscuit dough. Next, spread the blueberry jam liberally over the dough. If you’re not a fan of blueberry jam, strawberry jam, peach preserves, blackberry jam, or fig preserves will also be wonderful.
It’s now time to roll the dough into a spiral and cut it into ten or twelve rolls. Place them in the pan and bake.
Bake the rolls for 23 to 25 minutes. Check the center roll for doneness. The center roll should be lightly browned, still soft, but not doughy.
If you want to frost them, mix the glaze ingredients in the last couple of minutes of cooking time. I like to pour the glaze out immediately after I take the rolls from the oven. If you glaze them when the rolls are hot, the glaze will run down into the crevices. However, if you wait until the rolls cool, the glaze will sit on top of the rolls and not really go into them. Frost them whichever way you prefer.

- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
Cream Cheese Frosting
- ½ cup butter salted, at room temperature
- 4 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
- 1 and ½ cup powdered sugar (aka confectioners) sifted then measured

- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead about 10 times working a little more flour into the dough until it's not sticky and the dough becomes smooth.
- Roll dough or pat the dough into an approximately 9x12 rectangle. The dough will be thin.
- Spread the cinnamon filling mixture over the top. Then spread the blueberry jam over the mixture and spread evenly.
- Starting with the long side of the dough, roll dough jelly-roll style to form a long tube. Pinch the edge to seal. Using a sharp knife, slice into 8 to 10 equal rolls.

This was my first time making cinnamon rolls from scratch. I’ve never attempted it because I never have much luck with yeast recipes, so I thought I’d give this a try. The only change I made was that I used strawberry jam as that’s what I had on hand. I also baked for less time, but my oven tends to need less time.
The recipe was easy to work through. The rolls have more of a biscuit texture, but not quite like a biscuit. They weren’t overly sweet like a lot of cinnamon rolls can be, but they are very delicious! I think you could try other fillings and they would be just as good.
My husband loved them and ate 2 right away!
Thanks for sharing this recipe.
I’m so happy you liked them. I plan to try the strawberry version soon. I needed something quick for when my boys request cinnamon rolls an hour before breakfast. 😉
