Cinnamon not just for Holidays
With my restricted diet there are only a few things I can truly enjoy for dessert. I always like a piece of my That Apple Stuff straight form the oven, if you missed my recipe you can find it HERE and lately I have been craving cinnamon rolls. So this is the simplest recipe you will ever make! Lets kick cinnamon out of the holiday menus and into your everyday desserts. This is a low sugar, migraine safe dessert. Please read through all of the ingredients to assure you can have the ingredients. Cinnamon not just for the holidays! If you are not on a restricted diet please see Katies Tid Bits. I enjoy cinnamon flavored treats so my recent craving for cinnamon rolls is easily fulfilled with this simple recipe. A word of caution, it is easy to eat too many of these…Yes, that’s right I ate four of them all by my lonesome. I have no self-control, giggle. This recipe can be doubled and frozen for quick heat and go cinnamon rolls too.
What You Need
Pre made refrigerated pie dough, room temperature ( I use Pillsbury)
4 Tbsp. Butter, softened (I use dairy free)
¾ Cup brown sugar substitute (I use Splenda brown sugar)
½ Cup sugar substitute (I use Splenda)
3 tsp. Freshly grated cinnamon
Parchment paper
Medium bowl
Whisk
9 inch round baking pan
Nonstick cooking spray
Before You Start
Preheat oven to 425°, lay parchment paper on clean counter. Coat inside and sides of baking pan with non stick cooking spray.
Lets Make It!
Unroll the dough placing it in the center of the parchment paper. In a bowl combine brown sugar, sugar and cinnamon, add softened butter and whisk together well. Spread onto the pastry dough and using the back of a spoon spread it out to the edges. Carefully roll the coated dough. With a sharp knife slice about 8-10 pieces of equal size and place them in your prepared baking pan cut side down. I add a little more sugar substitute and brown sugar substitute the tops before baking. Bake for 15 -20 minutes until light brown. Serve while warm.
There are a variety of glazes and other yumminess you can spread and or drizzle over the top. But I prefer mine without anything. If you would like a little sugar free powdered sugar on the tops of yours
Combine one cup sugar substitute and 1 Tbsp. corn starch in a blender and pulse until fine powder. Sprinkle on top. I know I’ve shared this before but I think it is easier if it is with thet recipe you are making.
**Katies Tid Bits if you are no on a restricted diet ingredients substitutions are all of equal value to those listed.
I hope to see you all back here tomorrow for the Thursday Favorite Things blog party!

Cinnamon rolls always reminds me of home!
I am so happy this post sparked a sweet memory ( pardon the pun) hugs
How nice that you figured out a way to still enjoy cinnamon rolls. 🙂 Have a great week.
I am always challenged to create recipes for my restricted diet. hugs
This is a great idea for cutting down on sugar! I think cinnamon and ginger are good all year long.
Well these DO look good and I definitely like the ingredient list. I’ve tried the baking splenda and find it works quite well and tastes good but have never tried the brown sugar substitute. I’ll be pinning this recipe for sure!
thank you Lauren, I do hope you enjoy them hugs
I love them all! I am really excited about the Journal and these cinnamon rolls!
thank you, good luck in the giveaway, hugs
I love the Life Is Beautiful Embroidered Tea Towel
Hello Sweetie – thanks for stopping by my blog . . . . you got there before I updated this morning. I added your shop banner to the front page at Vintage Mama’s Cottage as well as on the RUBY blog. I’m off to visit some other bloggers from last week’s hop (it was a VERY busy weekend and early part of this week so far!), just as soon as I get my post ready to go in the morning for this week’s hop. Oh, and I guess I better finish the RUBY magazine for May if I want it to be ready by Monday. Let me know if you have anything you want me to feature or promote – I’ll include the shop banner again but anything else, just let me know. Love, Nina
you are a kind soul and a cherished friend, thank you so much. xoxo

Love, love, love cinnamon rolls, too. So thank you for the easy, but yummy recipe here. Happy Wednesday now, Katie xoxo <3
my pleasure. I’m trying to figure out how to make cream puff’s or eclairs next. So far things are not looking good. Eclairs without chocolate and cream puffs without cream, LOL I’m a big dreamer xo
