Skinny Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls
Welp. With my kids school being on extended Spring Break for at least another week, I thought I would spend some time baking. These Skinny Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls were pretty much at the top of the list to make because… It’s strawberry season and who can say no to a homemade cinnamon roll of any kind?
These Skinny Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls are scratch made with a lightly sweetened cake and a quick and easy strawberry filling. Over the top is a lightened up cream cheese drizzle that really takes these sweet bites of heaven to the next level.
I lightened these cinnamon rolls up and made them a little better-for-you by using a whole wheat white flour. I also swapped the sugar for a natural sweetener and used a reduced fat cream cheese. There’s some egg whites in there too.
Making these cinnamon rolls is a messy task. Especially cutting them out to put them into the pan(s). They are for sure, not the easiest of cinnamon rolls to work with. But, I promise you that it CAN be done and it IS worth it.
The end result is perfectly fluffy filling cinnamon rolls with enough to feed the whole family, and then some! Even my little brother who’s laid up with a broken leg and can’t stand most ‘hot fruit’ recipes has eaten his fair share of these whilst bed ridden.
