Who doesn't love a Cinnabon? These taste so yummy but I always look for a way to make things a little healthier without changing the taste. I just spread a little less butter and use Neufchatel cheese and this recipe still tastes great.

This recipe is fabulous! The dough is so sweet.This comes from the Allrecipes website. I can't believe this isn't posted here so I thought I'd put it here for safekeeping. My husband thinks these are the greatest thing I make. Sometimes I add raisins (his favorite). Rising time isn't included in the time but it takes about 3 hrs. total time.

1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast

2 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select dough cycle; press Start.
  • After the dough has doubled in size turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, cover and let rest for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • Roll dough into a 16x21 inch rectangle. Spread dough with 1/3 cup butter and sprinkle evenly with sugar/cinnamon mixture. Roll up dough and cut into 12 rolls.

  • Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. While rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Spread frosting on warm rolls before serving.

Tips:

  • For a gooey, cinnamon-sugar filling, use a combination of light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon.
  • To make the dough easier to work with, chill it for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
  • If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a tall glass to roll out the dough.
  • To create the signature Cinnabon swirl, spread the filling evenly over the dough, then roll it up tightly starting from the long edge.
  • Before baking, brush the rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar for a golden, caramelized crust.
  • For a cream cheese frosting that's both tangy and sweet, use a combination of cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
  • To achieve the perfect gooey center, bake the rolls until they're just golden brown on top.

Conclusion:

With careful attention to detail and a little bit of patience, you can easily create a healthier version of the classic Cinnabon at home. These homemade Cinnabons are not only delicious but also better for you, thanks to the use of whole wheat flour and natural sweeteners.
