Soft, fluffy cinnamon rolls swirled with juicy fresh huckleberries for a sweet, tangy twist on a classic breakfast treat.

Ingredients

For the Dough:

¾ cup warm milk (110°F)

2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)

¼ cup granulated sugar

1 egg + 1 egg yolk

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

3 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for rolling)

½ tsp salt

For the Huckleberry-Cinnamon Filling:

⅔ cup brown sugar

1 tbsp ground cinnamon

¼ cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup fresh huckleberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)

1 tsp cornstarch (optional, helps thicken if berries are juicy)

For the Vanilla Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

1 ½ tbsp milk (or cream)

½ tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Instructions

Activate the yeast: In a bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

Whisk in sugar, egg, egg yolk, and melted butter.

Add flour and salt. Mix and knead (by hand or with a dough hook) for 8–10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Make the filling: In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 14×9-inch rectangle. Spread softened butter on top, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, then evenly scatter huckleberries. (Toss berries in cornstarch if using.)

Roll the dough up tightly from the long edge and slice into 9–12 rolls.

Place rolls in a greased 9×13 or round baking dish. Cover and let rise again for 30–45 minutes.

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–28 minutes, until golden brown and bubbling.

While rolls cool slightly, whisk together glaze ingredients. Drizzle over warm rolls and serve.

Notes

Fresh huckleberries work best, but frozen can be used—just thaw and pat dry first.

Add lemon zest to the glaze for a citrusy twist.

Rolls can be prepped the night before and baked in the morning.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
