After a long winter I have decided that I am so ready for spring! I’m ready for light, blooming flowers and to actually see some green grass!
Our first winter in MN was actually not that bad and while I love the city we live in I am not super in love with the cold. That is definitely something I could give up, but these Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Cinnamon Rolls are not something I want to give up!
On the weekends we tend to keep things very low key around the house. We try to do this because we are running around super crazy all week long. We love taking our time getting up, making a delicious breakfast and hanging out in our pajamas.
For this particular breakfast I ran to Walmart and grabbed some Pillsbury Grands!™ Refrigerated Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Icing 5 ct 17.5 oz Can. I found these Carrot Cake Cinnamon Roll Cups Recipe that sounds super tasty so I gave it a shot but added my own spin to it!
When making these cinnamon rolls you only need a few extra ingredients such as cream cheese, blueberries and lemons! Probably ingredients you already have in your refrigerator!
I decided to take the filling and actually put it inside the cinnamon roll. I believed this helps intensify the flavor and to where you could taste the lemons and blueberries in each bite!
Making these rolls ahead of time is completely acceptable! I just refrigerated mine and pulled them out in the morning and they were divine! ENJOY!
