Sweet roll filled with raspberries and topped with fresh raspberries.

Raspberry Sweet Rolls take traditional sweet rolls to a whole new level  This delicious treat is filled with raspberries, topped with a sweet icing and are perfect for breakfast or brunch.

Fresh or frozen raspberries are the star of the filling in these sweet rolls.

These raspberry sweet rolls take full advantage of raspberry season! 

You know how I love to use produce fresh out of the garden. Right now the raspberries are producing like crazy. But you can also make these sweet rolls all year long using frozen raspberries.

These rolls are filled with raspberries that create a tasty filling that is almost like a jam. Then everything is drizzled with a sweet icing for just the perfect balance of sweetness.

Raspberry sweet rolls are a delicious breakfast pastry that isn't always the same ol' cinnamon roll. I do love cinnamon rolls, but sometimes a little variety is great.

This recipe uses the same dough I use in my cinnamon rolls and apricot sweet rolls.

It's a pretty versatile dough. It's also used in these strawberry sweet rolls, blueberry sweet rolls and cranberry sweet rolls. I think I may have an addiction to sweet rolls!

Recipe tips

  • You might not use the full amount of flour listed
  • Toss berries in flour just prior to adding to rolled dough. Otherwise they may become too juicy to manage
  • If using frozen berries, do not thaw first. Add frozen and increase baking time by 5 minutes
  • Glaze is optional - add while rolls are still warm, but not hot. Another option is to sprinkle the top of the rolls with sugar just prior to placing in oven.

    3 eggs? I might give it a try with blueberries which I have more in abundance right now than raspberries. But it does look really good with the raspberries. Yum!

    Our raspberries are running a bit late here, too. We've had the same rainy spring and summer, but I'm hoping we start getting a bunch soon. So I love sweet rolls, but I've never thought about putting a filling of fresh fruit in there. I totally need to make these. They sound like a great weekend breakfast!!

    These are beautiful Kathy and how lucky you are to have fresh homegrown raspberries! I'm getting my tail end to the store tomorrow to buy some berries and make these sweet rolls for dessert. Then have leftovers for Monday morning breakfast with coffee! That's a great start to the week 🙂
