Easy, Quick, AND Delicious? Yes Please!

If you’re looking to change up your breakfast menu without having to spend hours prepping in the kitchen, then Blueberry and Lemon Cinnamon Roll Biscuits are calling your name. One of my favorite things about this recipe is how simple they are to make. I love a good cinnamon roll. The taste, the flavor, the texture, and the freshly baked smell are hard to resist. But they take a good amount of time to prepare. Biscuits, on the other hand, are quick and easy. So why not combine the two? With this recipe, there’s no need to spend your morning waiting for dough to rise. No fancy equipment required. Just a few simple ingredients and you can have a mouthwatering breakfast treat ready in 30 minutes!

Inspiration and keeping it simple

The inspiration for this recipe came from Woodland Biscuit, a cute little biscuit cafe in Woodland, Utah. They make sweet biscuits along with traditional biscuits. Every time we stop in, I look forward to eating one of owner Laurel’s famous handmade biscuits.  Biscuits are always best when kept simple. Flour, baking powder, salt, butter, and buttermilk are the essentials. The trick to a good biscuit is handling the dough with care and paying attention to not over-handle it. The next few steps to making Blueberry and Lemon Cinnamon Roll Biscuits are fairly easy. Just assemble the blueberry and cinnamon roll filling. Roll it up into the biscuit dough. Cut. Bake. Drizzle with a simple lemon glaze. That’s it! The smell itself of these flaky, fruity, buttery, gooey, biscuit cinnamon roll treats will have your family wandering into the kitchen in no time.
