This short-cut blueberry cinnamon roll casserole is so easy to make with just four ingredients! It’s made with Pillsbury cinnamon rolls so it’s super simple to whip together for a special breakfast – you can make this in just minutes! Soft cinnamon roll pieces with sweet berries and, of course, icing – this cinnamon roll breakfast casserole is always a hit!
Semi-Homemade Breakfast Casserole!
It’s always good to have a few quick breakfast casseroles up your sleeves to pull out for special breakfasts for the holidays or other special occasions and I’ve got a great one for you today. For this cinnamon roll casserole, you only need four ingredients to make it, 10 minutes to prep it and it only takes about 30 minutes to bake.
I have a similar recipe you can make in your slow cooker – my crockpot cinnamon roll casserole – but sometimes it’s nice to crank up the oven on a cold morning, so I wanted to share an oven version, too! When you pull this bubbly hot breakfast bake out of the oven everyone will think you got up at the crack of dawn to make it, but it’s okay – your secret is safe with me.
Only 4 Ingredients Needed
So, I’ve already spilled the beans about the secret ingredient – all you need are three other things and you’re ready to make this blueberry breakfast casserole:
- Cinnamon Rolls: 1 can Pillsbury Grand! Cinnamon Rolls – make sure you get the Grands! and not another size otherwise you might not have enough cinnamon rolls for the casserole.
- Butter: melted unsalted butter combines with the brown sugar to form the gooey sauce
- Brown Sugar: 1/3 cup packed brown sugar keeps it rich
- Blueberries: fresh or thawed frozen
How to Make Cinnamon Roll Casserole
- Divide the Rolls: Pop those cinnamon rolls out of the can and divide each into six pieces. Set the icing aside – you’ll use it after the casserole is baked.
- Fill the Pan: Spray your 9-inch pan with cooking spray. You can use a round pan or square one. Place the cinnamon roll pieces in the pan. Sprinkle the blueberries over the cinnamon roll pieces.
- Make the sauce: Combine the brown sugar and melted butter in a small bowl. Pour the mixture over the top of the blueberries and cinnamon rolls.
- Bake: Bake the casserole at 350°F for 25 to 35 minutes or until it’s golden brown and the cinnamon rolls are cooked through. Drizzle the icing over the hot casserole and serve!

Expert Tips
- You can use other types of berries: Try using different kinds of berries, or try a combination! Strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries will work great. Just follow my tips if you’re using frozen ones.
- You can make it ahead of time: This blueberry casserole is so quick, I usually just make it the morning I want to serve it. But you can assemble it the night before and keep it in the refrigerator. Because the rolls will soak up more of the butter-sugar mixture, I like to wait to pour this mixture over the top until right before I bake it.

Making this for Christmas breakfast. I couldn’t find Grands so using the Original cinnamon rolls. I hope it turns out as good as the picture looks!
Making your blueberry bake this morning for Christmas. Can’t wait to taste it. I love your baking dish, where did you purchase it?
Amazon! It’s mud pie brand
Delish. I get so many positive comments when I serve this. I use an aluminum 13 x 9” pan and works out well.
Made this recipe this morning. It was SO good, I caught the hubby going back for thirds! I will definitely be making this again. Couldn’t believe how easy it was.
So glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely amazing!! Made this for a family brunch and it was a huge hit! 100% would recommend!
Making this for a friends brunch! If you make this the night before, do you just reheat individual servings the next day or would you pop the whole thing back in the oven? Or alternatively, should you just prepare the dish, keep it in the fridge, and then wait to bake it in the morning? Thanks in advance!
You can prepare the dish the night before then bake in the morning – I usually like to prepare the rolls and fruit, then melt the butter/brown sugar in the morning to add on.
These are insane!!!! Making them with the blueberries for my boys this morning but they are awesome with strawberries as well. So simple yet soooo delicious. I did ass cinnamon to mine but that’s it. Thank you for an amazing recipe
Going to use mini aluminum heart disposable pans, making the blueberry roll dessert for 48 people at the Doctors office. Virus is so demanding on this staff, I started bring two desserts each month when I get my shot. Always important that each is self contained due to the pandemic, so transporting in the only hard part. I 80 an d pray my food delivery service will ring my recessary rolls as I already have 3 cans.
My niece brought this recipe to small family brunch today. It was delicious. Children and adults devoured it all. I am glad she shared your recipe with me.
If I double the recipe, can I use a 9×13 pan and should I add to the timer?
Yes to the 9×13 it shouldn’t take too much longer since the pans are similar thickness.
