These Low Calorie Cinnamon Rolls are just 79 calories, and so easy to make!
If you use the all-natural zero calorie powdered sugar, the calories will not change if you add the glaze. But I know many people like a cream cheese glaze, so that is an option as well and will add just 10 calorie to each cinnamon roll.
Special Tip: Make sure to get self-rising flour. We are not adding any yeast to this recipe, so you need the self-rising flour to make them rise.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
To a large bowl, combine the four and Greek yogurt. Mix together until it becomes a sticky dough.
Lay the dough on a floured surface and roll out to a large rectangle and let sit and rise a little while you make the cinnamon glaze.
To a small bowl, combine the coconut oil, cinnamon and sugar. Mix together, then spread over the top of the dough rectangle.
Use a knife or pizza cutter to slice 10 strips, then roll each up into a cinnamon roll shape, placing the cinnamon rolls on the prepared baking sheet as you work.
Add to the preheated oven and bake for about 15-17 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the optional glaze or the cream cheese frosting and chop any nuts you will be adding.
When the cinnamon rolls are finished baking, remove from the oven. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before glazing and adding frosting. Top with chopped nuts and serve warm.
