Healthy Homemade Blueberry Cinnamon Rolls made with gluten-free and refined sugar-free ingredients and filled with a dreamy blueberry filling!
Sure it is now September and we have a ton of apple and pumpkin content coming over the next few weeks, but I needed to share one more blueberry recipe before moving into all the Fall eats.
These Healthy Homemade Blueberry Cinnamon Rolls are insane. I made them one afternoon when I had an hour to spare and was randomly craving a blueberry pastry of sorts. Naturally I turn to cinnamon rolls because they are one of my favorite things to bake and eat and saw a bag of frozen organic blueberries in the freezer, and decided to whip up a little somethin’ somethin’.
I like to think there is a new cinnamon roll recipe coming every single month. That will be my goal for us and so far, we’ve been making it happen. We shared those vegan cinnamon rolls, then the giant gluten-free cinnamon roll SKILLET and today these bloob cinnamon rolls.
They’re made with super simple ingredients, no packets of yeast needed (just ACV) and no refined sugar or gluten in this recipe!
We do use dairy in these rolls because the Vital Farm’s Grass-fed Butter is too good not to use. I have been baking with it now for the past few months and I don’t know why I didn’t use butter for so long. It adds the best flavor to the rolls and makes them taste absolutely amazing. I only use Vital Farm’s butter because it’s grass-fed, I trust the farms they get their butter from and it’s affordable to buy for quality butter.
If you whip up these Healthy Homemade Blueberry Cinnamon Rolls don’t forget to share with me on Instagram! I cannot wait to see them and hear what you think.

- Prep Time: 10 mins

Ingredients
Blueberry filling:
- 1 cup frozen organic blueberries
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons coconut flour
- 3 teaspoons cinnamon
Cinnamon roll:
- 1 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk (almond, oat, anything!)
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 6 tablespoons Vital Farms Grass-fed Butter, melted and cooled
- 2 and 3/4 cups gluten-free oat flour (can sub almond, spelt, our gluten-free AP)
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Vital Farms Grass-fed Butter, softened for greasing top of rolls once adding filling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper
- Mix together the blueberries, maple syrup, cinnamon and coconut flour in a bowl and set aside
- Whisk together the nut milk and apple cider vinegar in a medium bowl and set aside for 5-10 minutes
- Add in the vanilla extract then melted butter and mix again
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cinnamon baking powder and coconut sugar
- Then pour the wet mixture into the dry and gently mix with a spatula
- Form the dough into a round sphere and add to a floured-surface to roll it out (you can use a water bottle like I did!)
- Once the dough is in a large rectangle , about 1 inch thick, gently spread the softened butter over the dough
- Sprinkle the blueberry mixture on top of the dough and evenly distribute
- Roll the dough from the bottom, up and make sure you seal it well so it all stays together

I LOVE that these don’t have yeast…and are made with oat flour! (one of my favorites!). Reminds me of a PB$J with a nut butter drizzle on top…heavenly! 🙂
Jayne
Could you use buckwheat flour?
Rachel
anytime i have a sub in mind it’ll be listed! i have tested that.
McKenzie Dougherty
My batter did not turn out “dough like” at all… I followed the directions to a T… it was more like cake batter. Do you have to refrigerate the dough before rolling it out? Thanks!
Rachel
You shouldn’t. If it is cake batter perhaps add in more flour to thicken it up. Batter should be thick!!
Whitney
My mouth is watering over these right now! I just made some cherry pie cinnamon rolls but I have never made blueberry ones. I am definitely going to try these. You have such beautiful photos too!
Ashley
Hi Rachel! Love you and your recipes! Do you need to defrost the berries or can they still be frozen?
Rachel
no need to defrost! and thank you! xx

Hey, I subbed recipe with half almond /half oat flour as it said they could be subbed and it’s not forming a dough at all more like a muffin mix. Definitely not roll-able. Any suggestions. I keep adding more pat flour but still not forming dough consistency. Anyone else try almond flour successfully?
Rachel
i haven’t tried half/half but i do know almond works! it can vary based off the brand you use since each flour has a different consistency.

Can’t wait for your book to come out! Silly question, after rolling the dough into a rectangle it says to then roll from the “bottom up” into a roll… Which side is the bottom? The long side or the short side of the rectangle?
Rachel
short side 🙂
sofia
Hi!
Can I sub coconut oil for the butter?
Stasha
This dough and filling were absolutely delicious. Though, I did have a little trouble figuring out when it would be finished baking—next time, I think I’ll try baking them in individual muffin tins…have you tried that?
Rachel
i haven’t but that is such a great idea!!
Alison
In the pictures above there is a delicious golden topping swirled on the finished rolls. Can you share what this is?
Rachel
peanut butter!!
celesta
I’d like to know also if you can use coconut oil instead of butter or any other vegan alternative please?
Can’t wait to try them with my little girl, they look Devine!
Rachel
vegan butter *may* work! i haven’t tried! here are my vegan cinnamon rolls though.
Maya
