Low Fat/Calorie Super Yummy Cinnamon Rolls
Ingredients:
Dough
- 1 package of Reduced Fat crescent rolls
- 13-16 sprays of butter or non butter spray
Filling
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup no calorie sweetener
- 1/2 tablespoon light whipped butter
- 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt (optional)
Icing
- 1/4 cup of Cool Whip Free
- 3 tablespoons of fat free cream cheese or whipped
- 1 tablespoon of no calorie sweetener
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Filling: Combine all the ingredients and mix until well incorporated.
Icing: Combine all ingredients and stir until the frosting is a smooth consistency.
Dough: Remove the dough from the packaging. Using your hands, kneed and form the dough into a ball. On a lightly floured dry surface roll the dough into a flat sheet. Spray the butter onto the dough.
Next, take the filling mixture and spread evenly on to the dough, leaving room on the edges. Starting at the edge of the longest side if dough, begin the roll the dough tightly until it resembles a log.
Cut the dough into 8 even pieces. On a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper, place the rolls. With your hand, press down onto each roll, pinching the ends to prevent filling leakage.
Place into the oven for 6-8 minutes. Remove from the oven.
Immediately frost.
