Skinny Cinnamon Rolls

Skinny Cinnamon Rolls!

Soooo don't expect to eat a whole pan of these and stay skinny! But they are healthier than most recipes!
 They taste so amazing that no one will know too :)

Ingredients:


DOUGH:

3 1/2 Cups organic flour - Whole Wheat or Regular
1 Cup  room temp milk
1/3 Cup room temp water
1 Package (2 1/4 Teaspoons) Instant yeast
2 Tbs. granulated sugar
1 Tsp. Salt
1 Tbs. melted coconut oil

FILLING:

1/3 Cup packed brown sugar
2 Tbs. ground cinnamon
2 Tbs. Melted Coconut Oil - 1 Tbs. for the mix and 1 Tbs. to spread on the dough

Mix all the dough ingredients together in a kitchen aid. Let it knead in there with the dough hook attachment for 5 minutes adding extra flour if needed so it isn't too sticky. Then roll out on a floured surface until thin and flat. Spread 1 Tbs. of the melted coconut oil on the dough and pour the filling mixture on top. Spread it out evenly. Then roll the dough and cut to desired size. Place in oiled pan and cover for an hour to let rise. Then bake at 350 degrees F until golden brown usually about 15-20 minutes when I do it.

ICING:

2 oz. Cream Cheese (You can use low-fat if you prefer)
1 1/4 Powdered Sugar
1 Tsp. Lemon Juice
1 Tsp. Real Vanilla Extract
1 Tbs. Melted Coconut Oil
Water as needed for right consistency 

Whip the cream cheese and coconut oil together. Then add the vanilla and lemon juice and blend. Slowly add the powdered sugar and then blend together for 5 mins testing the consistency. If needed add water.




Here are some pictures of the process...please excuse the messy house!
