Weight watchersDough Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients:

For the Dough:

• 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm fat-free milk (110°F/43°C)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Filling:

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

For the Icing:

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1-2 tablespoons fat-free milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add applesauce, egg, and the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size.
4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
5. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle.
6. Brush the melted butter over the rolled-out dough. Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the butter.
7. Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut into 12 equal slices.
8. Place the slices in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between each roll.
9. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown.
10. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the icing.
11. Once the rolls have cooled for a few minutes, drizzle the icing over the top.
12. Serve and enjoy your Weight Watchers-friendly cinnamon rolls!
