Low-Fat Cinnamon Rolls (Yields 12 rolls)
This recipe uses Greek yogurt and whole wheat flour to lower the fat content while still delivering delicious cinnamon rolls.
Ingredients:
For the Dough:
* 1 cup warm water (105-115°F)
* 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
* 1 tablespoon honey
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
* 3 cups whole wheat flour, plus more for dusting
* 1/2 cup rolled oats
For the Filling:
* 1/2 cup brown sugar
* 2 tablespoons cinnamon
* 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
For the Glaze:
* 1 cup powdered sugar
* 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other non-dairy milk)
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and honey. Let stand for 5 minutes, or until the yeast is foamy.
2. Stir in the salt, olive oil, and yogurt.
3. Gradually add the flour and oats, mixing with a wooden spoon until a dough forms.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
6. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped walnuts (if using).
7. Assemble the Rolls: Punch down the dough and roll it out into a 12x15 inch rectangle.
8. Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
9. Roll up the dough tightly, starting from the long side.
10. Cut the roll into 12 equal slices.
11. Place the rolls in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
12. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
13. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
14. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
15. Glaze: Pour the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls.
16. Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips:
* For a sweeter glaze, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the glaze.
* You can substitute the oats for an equal amount of all-purpose flour for a slightly chewier dough.
* If you prefer a less sweet roll, reduce the brown sugar in the filling.
* For a healthier version, use a sugar-free powdered sugar substitute.
This recipe provides a delicious and low-fat alternative to traditional cinnamon rolls. Enjoy!
