i found this here http://lobsterandfishsticks.com/2009/08/25/lowfat-cinnamon-rolls/ and they sound pretty tasty and look pretty good, i love the idea of replacing the butter in the filling with applesauce. i hope i have time to try it sometime soon. the baking time looks awfully short though so that may need to change.

Tips:

  • For a vegan version of these cinnamon rolls, use dairy-free milk and butter, and flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water) instead of regular eggs.
  • To make the cinnamon rolls ahead of time, prepare them through the first rise, then cover and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, let them come to room temperature for about an hour before baking.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer, you can make the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it for at least 10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
  • To make sure the cinnamon rolls are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of one of them. If it comes out clean, they are done.
  • Serve the cinnamon rolls warm, with your favorite frosting or glaze.
