Ingredients:
- 4-6 frozen dinner rolls
- 1/3 cup blueberries
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp shaved almonds
- A pinch of cinnamon
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 2 tbsp cream
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Directions:
- Preparation of the Baking Dish:
- In a small 5×5-inch baking dish, combine the blueberries, brown sugar, maple syrup, melted butter, shaved almonds, and cinnamon. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly at the bottom.
- Add the Rolls:
- Place the frozen dinner rolls on top of the blueberry mixture. Cover the dish and set aside for 2-3 hours, allowing the rolls to defrost and rise at room temperature.
- Bake the Buns:
- Once the rolls have risen, drizzle cream over the buns. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the buns for 20-30 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Serve:
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Carefully flip the buns onto a plate so that the blueberry and almond layer is on top. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
