Pumpkin Pie Cinnamon Rolls

You are going to want to eat these healthy low calorie cinnamon rolls all season long and they are filled with pumpkin pie filling and topped with cream cheese frosting. No yeast is needed to make these cinnamon rolls either. 

Cinnamon Roll Dough No Yeast 

To make cinnamon rolls with no yeast, I used the famous 2 ingredient dough recipe which is equal parts greek yogurt and self-rising flour. Some people still don't even know that recipe exists yet and they ask me about it on Instagram. Crazy huh? Please jump on the 2 ingredient dough bandwagon if you haven't!

Use some dental floss to evenly cut the cinnamon rolls into even shapes. If you care about presentation or don't, you do not need to do that. 

It really helps to have a lightly floured surface before trying to shape or roll the dough out. 

Recipe Ingredients

• 1 cup of NF greek yogurt
• 1 cup of self rising flour
• ½ cup pumpkin puree(not pie filling)
• 1 tablespoon 1% milk
• 2 tablespoons of packed light brown sugar or dark brown sugar 
• 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice
• 1 egg
• Nonstick cooking spray
• For the Frosting
• 4- oz cream cheese , softened
• ½ cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons of milk

In the meantime prepare the frosting.

Frequently Asked Questions and Tips

Can I use a stand mixer to make the dough? Since this dough is made with only 2 ingredients it's easier to make it in a large mixing bowl. 

What can I serve these cinnamon rolls with?

Make some freshly brewed coffee and serve with some scrambled eggs or fresh fruit on the side. 

How to store leftovers: Always store leftovers in clean, food-grade containers. The type of container doesn’t really matter. Use zip lock, glass, plastic,  whatever!  Make sure to store any leftovers in an airtight container before putting it in the freezer or fridge. 

This can be prepped the day ahead.
