Cinnamon Rolls

We for years one Sunday mornings enjoyed Bacon and Cinnamon Rolls for breakfast. But with the changes we were making our tradition was in jeopardy. So it was time to repair a few things so we could still enjoy our favorite tradition.

.

We made a change from 4 thick slices of Bacon at 175 calories and 14 grams of "Bacon Grease"

So we switched to 4 slices of Turkey Bacon at 25 calories and 2.5 grams of fat instead a calorie savings of 125 calories per slice. I will admit we went through 2 packages of Turkey Bacon before we accepted the change.

.

Now on the Cinnamon Rolls there was an equal amount of change . We use primarily pre-made cinnamon rolls for our base roll in other words whamum rolls. (whampum is when you whamp the tube on the counter to open) Now these rolls come with this little packet or tub of "topping" that accounts for a great deal of the calories and fats in the whole thing. This required Change.

.

Heres what we did, we devised a couple of toppings for our rolls that reduced the calories and eliminated the fats entireally. the mini recipes are:

.

Topping Recipe #1:

Take about 1/2 cup Slenda and add a table spoon of ground cinnamon and place in a sugar shaker and shake it up to mix well, and sprinkle liberaly on your roll and spray lightly with butter flavor cooking spray and bake accoring to the package wahla a light frosting with no calories or fat.

.

Topping Recipe #2

1/3 cup fat free cream cheese. (room temp)

1/4 tsp vanilla.

1/8 tsp lemon juice.

1/2 cup splenda.

.

add all the ingredients to a small bowl and whip with a fork until smooth.

this will give you a fat free low calorie topping that tastes just like the heavy one that came with the package. Spread this on when rolls first come out of the oven and enjoy.
