CINNAMON BUNS
You will need:- 1x pack cinnamon shake
- 20g self rising flour
- Tsp Myvegan Xantham Gum
- 50g non fat Greek yogurt
- 25g unsweetened applesauce
- 1 Tsp baking powder
- 3-4 drops vanilla flavour drops
- 20g light butter
- 20g sweetener of choice (I used brown)
- 2tsp cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons powdered Erythritol
- Tablespoon non fat yogurt
- exante vanilla flavour drops
- Splash sugar free almond milk in case the mixture it too thick
- Mix the dry ingredients before adding the wet ingredients to form a slightly sticky dough. Add the dough to a floured surface to help with rolling
- Sprinkle some flour and extra cinnamon on the dough to help reduce stickiness, ready for rolling
- Roll or press down the dough into a rectangle (it doesn’t have to be perfect!)
- Soften your butter in the microwave to make it easily spreadable, then cover the entire dough
- Mix the cinnamon and brown sweetener together in a small bowl, then sprinkle it over the butter. Leave a small amount of room around the edges to avoid the filling melting out of the cinnamon rolls as they bake
- Roll the cinnamon roll dough towards you, trying to keep it as tightly rolled as possible. I used the parchment paper to pull it towards me to allow the dough to roll itself
- Using a sharp serrated knife, score your dough to measure out 10 cinnamon rolls, then slice into 10
- Place your cinnamon rolls spaced out in a round pre-greased cake pan
- Bake at 170 c for 20 minutes
- Mix the powdered Erythritol & Greek yogurt & a splash of milk to form the icing
- After baking, allow the warm cinnamon rolls to cool for about 10 minutes before adding your icing
- Spread the icing over the top of the cinnamon rolls, top with Chocolate & Cranberry Snack Shots and dig in
Recipe makes 7 rolls and is roughly 415 calories in total, so only 59 calories each!
