Lemon Blueberry Rolls – super soft and fluffy and SO EASY to make from scratch!
Happy Friday guys! We're celebrating all weekend long for my husbands birthday! If you follow me on Instagram you may have read how I tried to make him an awesome cake (like this Chocolate Mousse Cake or this Almond Sheet Cake) but all he wanted was a box mix funfetti cake with famous rainbow chip frosting. EEEEK. What's a girl to do? Well, yesterday he got his cake and we enjoyed a romantic night out on the town
The lemon/blueberry combination means springtime to me. With the warm weather in Saint Louis and all of the Easter decorations flooding the stores I am totally ready for spring! I adapted these Lemon Blueberry Rolls from my favorite Orange Rolls recipe. I added some milk to make them extra tender. They are super light and fluffy and easy to make too. These were devoured in so fast at our house. DELICIOUS!
