Eggs: Help bind the casserole together and give it a soft, creamy texture.

Blueberry pie filling: Provides pockets of bright, juicy, blueberry flavor that melt into the cinnamon roll dough as it bakes.

Substitutions & Variations

Fruit Pie Filling: Swapping the blueberry pie filling for another flavor, such as cherry, apple, or peach is an easy way to change up the taste of this casserole.
Fresh or Frozen Berries: You can swap in fresh or frozen blueberries, but the casserole will be less sweet without the sauce-add a little vanilla or maple syrup to balance it out. If you love breakfast bakes with fresh berries, you might also enjoy my Berry Croissant Bake, which is another delicious way to start the morning.
Icing Swaps: Instead of using the traditional icing that comes with cinnamon rolls, try serving your casserole with blueberry cream cheese icing or a maple glaze.
Add Chopped Nuts: For extra texture, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the top before baking. They add a delicious crunch that pairs perfectly with the warm, soft texture of the cinnamon rolls.

Helpful Tips

Let the cinnamon rolls soften slightly: Frozen rolls like Rhodes may be difficult to cut straight out of the freezer. Let them thaw just enough to slice easily while still staying cold.
Cut the rolls evenly: Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the cinnamon rolls into even pieces so the casserole bakes uniformly.
Don't overmix the rolls: When mixing the cinnamon roll pieces with the blueberry pie filling, stir gently to avoid crushing them, which can make the casserole dense.
Let the casserole sit before icing: Allow the baked dish to rest for at least 10 minutes so the icing doesn't slide off.
Check for doneness: Look for golden-brown tops and a fully set center; if the middle looks doughy, bake for a few more minutes.
Warm the icing packet: Slightly warming the cinnamon roll frosting makes it easier to drizzle smoothly and evenly.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use canned cinnamon rolls instead of frozen ones?

Yes! You can use refrigerated dough in place of frozen dough if preferred. They may bake a bit faster, so keep an eye on the casserole toward the end of the bake time and check for doneness as needed.

Do I need to thaw the cinnamon rolls before baking?

You only need to let them soften slightly so they're easier to cut; they should still be cold when you mix them with the blueberry filling.

Can I use a different fruit filling?

Absolutely-cherry, apple, or mixed berry pie filling all work well and give the casserole a fun flavor twist.

Can I prepare this casserole the night before?

Yes! Assemble it, cover it, refrigerate overnight, then bake in the morning. You may need to add 5-10 minutes of bake time.
