• 1/4 cup unsalted vegan butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• Zest of 1 lemon

For the Filling:

• 1/4 cup unsalted vegan butter, softened

For the Lemon Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, eggs, and lemon zest.
3. Form the Dough: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour.
4. Knead: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

1. Mix Filling Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well blended.

Step 3: Assemble the Rolls

1. Roll Out Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it into a rectangle about 16×12 inches.
2. Spread Filling: Evenly spread the filling mixture over the dough. Sprinkle fresh blueberries on top.
3. Roll Up: Starting from one long side, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Pinch the seams to seal.
4. Cut Rolls: Slice the log into 12 equal pieces (about 1 inch thick). Place them in a greased baking dish.

Step 4: Second Rise

1. Let Rise Again: Cover the rolls with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes until puffy.

Step 5: Bake

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Bake Rolls: Bake for about 25–30 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 6: Make the Lemon Glaze

1. Combine Glaze Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Add lemon zest if desired for extra flavor.

Step 7: Drizzle and Serve

1. Glaze Rolls: Once baked and slightly cooled, drizzle the lemon glaze over the warm rolls.
2. Enjoy! Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Lemon Blueberry Sweet Rolls!

Tips

• For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding some lemon extract to the glaze.
• These rolls can be made ahead of time; simply prepare them up to slicing before refrigerating overnight. Let them rise at room temperature before baking.
