I've been testing a ton of recipes using fiber gourmet flour, so I decided to make some low calorie cinnamon rolls! These came out super amazing, and the dough turned out even fluffier than I expected! These could also be made even lower in calories if you use fake sugar in the filling and icing – not the dough since the yeast needs sugar to activate – I just don't really like the taste of fake sugar. Another way to make them even lower is to make less of the icing; The first photo shows only half of the icing, and the third photo shows what it looks like with the full ammount.
This recipe makes 8 rolls, with 165 cal per piece. (Theres only seven in the pan I used since I dropped one on the ground </3)
Ingredients –
Dough:
1/4th cup unsweetened almond milk
1 and 1/4th tsp instant yeast
24g granulated sugar
1 egg
1 and 1/2 tsp oil
165g fiber gourmet flour
Filling:
84g granulated sugar
1 tsp molasses
50g unsweetened apple sauce
2 tbsp Cinnamon
Icing:
2 oz 1/3rd less fat cream cheese
48g sugar
1 tsp Vanilla extract
A few tsp unsweetened almond milk
Extras:
1/4th cup 2 percent milk
1/2 tsp oil
- Heat almond milk up until it is bath water temperature, then add in yeast.
- Add sugar into yeast mixture and mix.
- Add in other dough ingredients and mix.
- Knead dough while adding water so it doesn't dry out until it passes window pane test. (10ish minutes)
- Put dough ball into bowl with 1/2 tsp oil rubbed onto surface and let rise for 50 minutes in warm place. (I kept it under my heatable blanket, which helped it rise even higher than normal)
- Make filling while dough sits in warm place.
- Roll out dough and add filling on top.
- Roll into a log and cut into 8 portions using dental floss or string.
- Put rolls into pan and allow to rise for another 50 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Pour 1/4th cup 2% milk over rolls before baking.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes.
- While rolls bake, mix together Icing and add a few tsp of almond milk until it reaches desired consistency.
- Pour icing on top of rolls once they come out of the oven and enjoy!

Wow, OP, those look fantastic! If I were you the entire tray would be gone in a day (and you’d still stay under 1200, jeez!)
I have fiber gourmet flour I’ve also been messing with. Made a great pumpkin roll, these are next. Thank you!
Those look sooooo good!
I need to make these. I’m always so afraid to experiment with my fiber gourmet flour because it’s so expensive and my sweetener of choice (allulose) doesn’t bake well! But I think because the majority of the sweetness is in the icing/cinnamon filling for these and allulose is perfect for sweetening liquid/saucy/creamy foods, this might be exactly what I’m looking for
these look AMAZINGLY DELISH!! Thx for sharing this OP
to add protein u could also use vanilla greek yogurt+flour dough!
You have my fullest attention 👀
