Cinnamon Rolls

These really are the best cinnamon rolls that I've ever made. They're really easy to put together and are relatively healthy!

Cinnamon Rolls

Dough:
1 1/2 teaspoons yeast
3/4 cup almond milk
2 cups organic all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons applesauce

Filling:
1/4 cup sugar (or agave)
2 tablespoons cinnamon
non-stick cooking spray

Icing:
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 tablespoon almond milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 375.

Warm the almond milk so that it’s luke warm and stir in the yeast until it’s dissolved. Let sit for 5 minutes.

While the yeast is sitting, prepare the filling. In a small bowl combine the sugar and cinnamon for the filling and set aside.

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.

Add applesauce and yeast mixture to the flour mixture and mix until the dough becomes a sticky mass.

Spread flour onto a flat surface and onto your rolling pin. Plop dough onto the floured surface and carefully roll it out to a rectangular shape.

Spray the dough with some non-stick cooking spray and then sprinkle on the cinnamon-sugar filling to cover the entire surface area. Spray again with non-stick spray so that the cinnamon sugar mixture isn’t dry.

Roll the dough into a tubular shape and cut into 10-12 rolls depending on how big you want them.

Bake 9-12 minutes. While rolls are baking, measure out confectioners’ sugar, almond milk, and vanilla and combine with a whisk or hand mixer.

When rolls are lightly browned, remove and top with icing.
