Description
Soft, fluffy cinnamon rolls filled with juicy raspberries and topped with a tangy lemon glaze — a fruity, zesty twist on the classic comfort bake.
Ingredients
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup warm milk (110°F)
1/4 cup melted butter
2 large eggs
1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries (thawed if frozen)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon milk (adjust for consistency)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
- Add warm milk, melted butter, and eggs to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- For the filling, mix sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Roll the dough into a 12×18-inch rectangle. Evenly spread raspberries over it and sprinkle with the sugar mixture.
- Roll the dough tightly from the long side and cut into 12 equal rolls.
- Arrange the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
- While baking, whisk powdered sugar, lemon juice, and milk to make the glaze.
- Drizzle lemon glaze over warm rolls before serving.
Notes
You can swap raspberries for blueberries or blackberries.
Try a cream cheese glaze for a richer flavor.
Add chopped almonds or pecans for a nutty twist.
Store-bought dough can be used for convenience.
Leftovers keep up to 2 days at room temp or 5 days in the fridge.
Reheat in the microwave (15–20 sec) or oven (300°F for 10 min).
Freeze shaped rolls before baking and thaw before use.
