Blueberry Streusel Rolls
Oh my, these are good! I wanted to make a treat using some of my blueberries so I tweaked my cinnamon roll recipe and came up with this lovely dessert. The streusel and blueberry filling is a nice flavor and texture combination. These are now my son’s favorite dessert. He requested it for his Birthday instead of cake!
