Instructions

Mix Dry Ingredients: Combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl.
Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together milk, melted butter, vegetable oil, and eggs.
Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Knead Dough: On a floured surface, knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 8–10 minutes.
First Rise: Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Prepare Filling: Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Toss raspberries gently in the mixture to coat evenly.
Roll and Fill: Roll the dough into a rectangle. Spread the raspberry-cinnamon mixture evenly over the surface.
Shape Rolls: Roll the dough into a log, then slice into 12 even pieces.
Second Rise: Arrange the rolls in a greased baking pan. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes until puffy.
Preheat Oven: Heat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake: Bake rolls for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Make Glaze: Combine powdered sugar, lemon juice, zest, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the warm rolls with lemon glaze and enjoy.

Notes

Use frozen raspberries if fresh are unavailable, but thaw and drain them first.
For a richer flavor, use brown sugar in the filling instead of granulated sugar.
Add chopped nuts like pecans or almonds for extra texture.
Adjust the lemon glaze consistency by adding more lemon juice or powdered sugar.
