Healthy Cinnamon Rolls


Don’t you just love the smell and taste of freshly baked cinnamon buns?
Unfortunately, the store-bought cinnamon dough packs a whopping 400 calories + per serving. 

So I’ve prepared a “healthier” version of everyone’s favourite cinnamon rolls. 

Still ooey and gooey but with much less sugar and butter! 

In addition to adding raisins, you can also add nuts or more fruit inside the buns to give them even more texture and nutrients.
These are great for a weekend breakfast or a delicious afternoon treat!


Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 15-18 minutes
Yields: 6 cinnamon buns

Ingredients:


  • 1 package of store-bought whole-wheat pizza dough
  • 1 cup applesauce (or make your own by blending an apple
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 2-3 tablespoons sugar or sugar substitute (use 3 if you want a sweeter taste )
  • 1/3 cup raisins
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon



Directions:


  1. preheat oven to 350. Line a flat baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with a little nonstick cooking spray. 
  2. Roll out your pizza dough into a long square shape and then put it on a baking sheet.
  3. Mix applesauce, cinnamon, sugar together in a separate bowl
  4. Spread one tablespoon of butter onto pizza dough, and then applesauce mixture, and then top with raisins
  5. Roll the long square into a log shape, making sure all the insides do not spill out
  6. Top the log with one tablespoon of melted butter and a bit more cinnamon
  7. Bake for about 15 minutes or until browned, then cut into bun slivers. 
  8. Whisk together powdered sugar with a tiny bit of water until it forms liquid, then drizzle it over the buns and serve warm


These are so easy and fast to make and if you had a chance to make them, let me know below!
