Blueberry Cinnamon Roll Breakfast Pizza
This Blueberry Cinnamon Roll Breakfast Pizza recipe turns a simple package of Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls into something special by incorporating cinnamon and sugar toasted pecans, a delicious cream cheese frosting, and blueberries, of course!
Ingredients
- 7.3 ounce package Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls with Icing
- 1.5 ounces pecans, chopped
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3 teaspoons Splenda
- 4 teaspoons brown sugar, unpacked
- 1.5 tablespoons light butter (I used Light I Can't Believe It's Not Butter)
- 3.5 ounces reduced fat cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons sugar free maple syrup
- 2/3 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
1. Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Open the package of cinnamon rolls, setting the icing aside. Separate each cinnamon roll on a cutting board and use your fingers to flatten to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut each cinnamon roll in half with a sharp knife, creating 10 half-circles.
3. Move the cinnamon rolls to the lined baking sheet, about two inches apart, and bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden.
4. While the cinnamon rolls are baking, mix the cinnamon, Splenda, and 1 teaspoon of brown sugar in a small bowl until well-combined.
5. Melt the butter in a medium-size skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the pecans and stir, coating evenly with the melted butter. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the pecans and continue stirring for about 4 minutes until the pecans have a slightly crunchy, sugary coating. Remove from heat and set aside.
6. In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine the reduced fat cream cheese, vanilla extract, sugar free maple syrup, and remaining brown sugar. Beat with a hand-held mixer on medium speed until well-combined.
7. Once the cinnamon rolls are cooled, spread an equal amount of the cream cheese mixture onto each item.
8. Place about 5 blueberries on each frosted cinnamon roll. Then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar pecans on top, pressing down slightly to allow them to stick to the frosting.
9. Drizzle the icing that was included in the cinnamon roll package over the breakfast pizzas.
10. Make sure to refrigerate any leftovers. Best served at room temperature!
