Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup non-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your cinnamon rolls bake evenly and thoroughly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and baking powder. Whisk them together until they are well blended.
- Add the unsweetened applesauce, non-fat milk, and honey to the flour mixture. Stir the ingredients together using a spatula or wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.
- Once the dough has formed, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough gently for about 1-2 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Roll the dough out into a rectangle, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Aim for a size of about 12 inches by 8 inches for even rolls.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon evenly over the rolled-out dough, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
- Starting from one of the longer edges, carefully roll the dough tightly into a log shape. Make sure to keep the roll tight to help maintain the shape of the rolls.
- Once rolled, slice the log into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter. Each slice should be about 1 inch thick.
- Place the sliced rolls into a greased baking dish, ensuring they are close together but not touching. This will help them rise and stay soft during baking.
- Bake the cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cinnamon rolls from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious non-fat cinnamon rolls warm!
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality whole wheat flour for the best texture and flavor.
- Make sure your applesauce is unsweetened to control the sugar content.
- When rolling the dough, use a light touch to keep the rolls tender.
- For extra moisture, you can brush the rolls with a tiny bit of non-fat milk before baking.
- Check the rolls at the 20-minute mark to prevent over-browning.
- Let the rolls cool slightly before serving to allow them to set and become more flavorful.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the microwave for a fresh-baked taste.
- For added nutrition, you could sprinkle some chopped nuts on top before baking.
