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)

- 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.

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!
absolutely love your recipes! I’ve also been dying to find a copy for Panera’s Tomato Basil bread.
Looks delicious, and so easy!
I can’t wait to try these. They look incredible. I never thought about starting bread in a blender. Thanks for the tip.
Those look too easy to be true! Thanks for sharing, I can’t wait to give them a try!
Woweee!!! I wish I had seen this earlier today!! I’ve got soda bread in the oven for dinner, but if I’d seen these, these would be in the oven!!! 🙂 At least I know what I’m doing tomorrow!!! 🙂
Hi. I’m a first time visitor and I love your blog. Their is a restaurant here that makes your Mom’s rolls and they are fabulous. I can’t wait to try the “faster” version. Thanks for the recipe.
pinning this one!
This looks great. I love the idea about baking them in muffin tins. Thanks!
OH.MY.SOUL! One of my most favorite things in life is a warm biscuit or bread from the oven. These are calling my name. What an excellent idea to use the blender. Pinning!
Looks delicious! Thank you for sharing! Might try them soon!

Mmm these look wonderful! I love fresh homemade bread, and I love the idea of using a muffin pan! I’m your newest follower :o)
Going to have to try these!
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.
Visiting from Family Time Tuesday and loving this idea for quick rolls at dinner time. I’m going to see if my boys want to give it a whirl tonight and see how they come out.
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.
Wow, they look absolutely delish! Would love to try them sometime soon!
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.
Yum, so going o make these, pinning this 🙂
I had to reblogg this one…yummmmmmmmy
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.
