- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 19-inch x 13-inch rectangle and ¼-inch thick.
- Combine cinnamon and brown sugar in a small bowl. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly op top.
- Spread about 1/2-3/4 cup of the blueberry sauce over the dough. Beginning at the long side, roll the dough into a log tightly . Pinch to seal the edges.
- Trim the ends and cut into 10-12 slices.

Notes
Storage
- First allow them to cool completely to room temperature. Once cooled, you can store them in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- If you want to keep them for longer, you can freeze them. Wrap each cinnamon roll individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe container or resealable plastic bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Reheating
- To reheat frozen cinnamon rolls, remove them from the freezer and allow them to thaw at room temperature for a few hours or overnight. Once thawed, you can heat them up in the microwave for a few seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 5-10 minutes, until warm.
