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.
