My family loves bread. When I was little, my mom would make our sandwiches for lunch with homemade bread, and I remember being embarrassed at lunchtime at school because everyone else had store bought white bread. Of course as an adult, I realize how much yummier homemade is compared to store bought, and how silly I was to be self conscious of my thick crusty homemade bread. My mother makes the BEST fluffiest light rolls too, even way better than I do when I use the same recipe. I have posted them before here. That recipe is great for when you have extra time to devote to making them, but when I saw this quick blender recipe in Taste of Homes Holiday 2008 Thanksgiving edition, I wanted to try it to see if it would be a good fast alternative recipe. They turned out beautiful and delicious and no kneading or shaping is involved.
Blender Light Rolls
1 c warm milk (not too hot or it will ruin your yeast)
1 pkg. yeast or 1 Tablespoon
1/4 c sugar
2 eggs
1/4 c oil
Put these 5 ingredients in a blender and blend for 30 seconds on low.
In a bowl combine:
3 1/4 c flour
1 tsp. salt
Then pour the ingredients from the blender into the flour mixture and stir till everything is combined.
Divide dough among 12 greased muffin cups, just dropping it in with a spoon.
Cover again with a towel and let raise for another 30 minutes.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes till golden.
Take them out of the pan to cool on a clean towel (or wire rack) so they won’t continue to brown.
- 1 c warm milk (not too hot or it will ruin your yeast)
- 1 pkg. yeast or 1 Tablespoon
- ¼ c sugar
- 2 eggs
- ¼ c oil
- 3¼ c flour
- 1 tsp. salt
- Put milk, yeast, sugar, eggs and oil in a blender and blend for 30 seconds on low.
- In a bowl combine the flour and salt.
- Then pour the ingredients from the blender into the flour mixture and stir till everything is combined.
- You don’t have to knead it, just cover with a towel at this point, put it in a warm, non drafty spot and let raise for 30 minutes.
- Divide dough among 12 greased muffin cups, just dropping it in with a spoon.
- Cover again with a towel and let raise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes till golden.
- Take them out of the pan to cool on a clean towel (or wire rack) so they won’t continue to brown.
These are delicious served warm, but they taste good for breakfast too, if you have any left over.
These were the easiest rolls I’ve ever made, and they were scrumptious too!
Hope you enjoy!

Tried these tonight. They were SUPER fast and easy to make and didn’t disappoint us! We thought they’d make good bread for egg sandwiches. 🙂 Thanks for the recipe.

Hi Margo,
I’m visiting from the “It’s a Cinch” party and I love the idea of making rolls by using a muffin pan 🙂 Have you ever tried whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour with this recipe? Just wondering … I’m going to try that myself. I love cooking too and blog about that myself sometimes. I’m your newest Follower.

I used to be embarrassed about the silliest things in my school lunches, too, that now I realize are delicious and healthy!
I’m definitely going to have to try these rolls sometime.

They look yummy. And easy. And dangerous for my waistline that I’m desperately trying to reduce, reduce, reduce …
So these are diet biscuits, right?
Thanks for linking it up!

You had me at bread! I’m convinced I could live on bread and butter alone.
This looks like a great recipe I can make with my girls!
My hubs used to walk home when he was in elementary school and his grand mom would make him a huge home cooked Italian meal. The other kids had peanut butter sandwiches and he had pasta and meatballs and a huge salad and rolls…
He wasn’t embarrassed – he knew he had it made even back then!
So glad you joined our cinch party.

Thank you so much for this! I would love to make homemade bread, but so often, I read a recipe and it says something like, “Put it in your mixer with a dough hook.” Or to “Put it in your bread machine.” Well I have no mixer, let alone a dough hook, and I have no bread machine and I always felt like there was no way I could make homemade bread. I mean, I know I can do it back like the old days, but I don’t have a baking instinct – I need someone to tell me how to do it. So thank you for this recipe because guess what! I have a blender. So this is totally doable.
Mel@Mellywood's Mansion says
Yum, so going o make these, pinning this 🙂

I had to reblogg this one…yummmmmmmmy
Gina says
Can’t wait to try these! I’m sure my peeps would slather butter on them and they’d be GONE. (:

Hi! I making these rolls today. After the first rise, I noticed the dough was very sticky. I’m not very good at baking bread. The stickiness doesn’t seem right. I added some flour and placed in muffin tray for second rise. Keep my fingers crossed and wondering about the sticky dough. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Made these using a 24 mini muffin pan baked for 10-15 minutes. Bite size rolls with butter of course.
