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.

Enjoy!!!!

MAKING AMENDS WITH HALLOWEEN MADNESS

Posted by admin on October 28, 2025 · Leave a Comment 

Ahh…Halloween; one of my favorite holidays of the year.

I (like many women) absolutely love sweets and once I’ve indulged just a bit, it can be a battle to stop. So what is a sweets craving mama to do…?

Well I’ve compiled a list of tips to help get you through this holiday season, while satisfying that sweet tooth, but not racking up the pounds. Whether you are attending multiple parties or just trick or treating with the kids; these tips will help you make it through with ease.

FAT FREE IS OKAY, RIGHT?

Well I hate to break the news to you ladies, but fat free does not mean calorie free. Therefore, check out that packaging before indulging in that sweet. Remember, moderation is the key.

DON’T FORGET YOUR WORKOUT

As busy mamas, we often neglect this very important step during the Halloween season. We must not forget our goals during this time, because this is where we are tested the most. Getting in a good workout 3 or more times per week, can curb that craving, and maybe that chocoalte won’t seem so enduring.

YOU’VE BEEN GOOD. NOW THE REWARD

Think of your Halloween treat as a reward for good behavior. Now this doesn’t mean that it’s a free for all and you needn’t worry about the sugar, calories and fat intake. It just means that a little reward at the end of the day can be both satisfying and curb that extra hunger.

You are a fit mama!
