Ways To Change Up Your Breakfast Casserole

One of my favorite things about this blueberry breakfast casserole is how versatile it is! There are so many ways you can adjust the recipe for just about any need you might have!

Want more fruit? Add raspberries along with the blueberries for a real fruit explosion! You can even use any fruit you want in place of blueberries if you want to as well.

Feeding a crowd? No problem! To double or triple the recipe and put in a 4-quart or 6-quart baking dish. Disposable foil pans would work too if you need to travel with the dish and don’t want to risk losing your favorite casserole dish.

Need to save time? Make everything the night before. Cover the dish and place in refrigerator overnight for super easy prep in the morning. Just wake up throw it in the oven, and dig in!

Secrets for Making this Blueberry Breakfast Casserole Recipe Easy as Pie

Choose your icing: What icing you choose will determine the simplicity and ease of the recipe. IF you’re short on time or need a recipe that requires little baking skills, just use the icing that comes with the cinnamon rolls.

If you have extra time, I highly suggest making the lemon glaze in the recipe. It’s super simple and sooo worth it!

Freeze the leftovers: Try freezing leftovers in individual containers for up to 2 months, that way you can pull one out any time, pop it in the microwave and you have a yummy breakfast or treat!

Cut the dough: When cutting the dough, you want to make sure it’s cut up small enough. Cutting the cinnamon roll dough into sixths helps the dough bake all the way through.
