Why You Will Like This Recipe
Oh yah, and these cinnamon rolls? They're 5 points apiece which is what I normally try and eat around breakfast time. Have some fruit with them. The pomegranates were just for decorations since there were some leftovers from my salad. You can leave those out.
Ingredients Needed
- Self-rising flour -is a type of flour that already contains baking powder and salt, which are essential ingredients in many baked goods.
- Plain fat free Greek Yogurt - is considered great for a variety of reasons. It is typically higher in protein and lower in sugar than regular yogurt, making it a good choice for those looking to maintain a balanced diet.
- Vanilla, divided - It is made by macerating and soaking vanilla beans in a mixture of water and Vodka. Use a good pure vanilla instead of the imitation vanilla extract.
- Eggs - The best type of eggs you can buy at the store are organic or free-range eggs, while others may prefer eggs from specific breeds of chickens
- Butter Spray (20 sprays) - I like to use I Can't Believe it's Not Butter Spray
- Brown sugar - Is made by combining granulated white sugar with molasses, which gives it a brown color and a slightly different taste than regular white sugar.
- Cinnamon - is a spice that comes from the inner bark of several trees from the genus Cinnamomum.
- Cooking spray
- Powdered sugar, divided - for icing
How to Make 2 Ingredient Dough Cinnamon Rolls
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Combine flour and 2 tablespoon powdered sugar in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Whisk together 1½ cups yogurt, 1 tablespoon vanilla, and egg in a medium bowl. Add yogurt mixture to flour mixture; stir well with a wooden spoon until just combined. Then keep mixing dough in the bowl with your hands until smooth (about 2 minutes of kneading). If the dough is too sticky to knead, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until no longer sticky.
- Place a large piece of parchment paper on a work surface and sprinkle with a little flour. Place dough on parchment paper. Sprinkle extra flour over the rolling pin, and roll into a 12 x 9–inch rectangle.
- Spritz the dough evenly with Butter Spray.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon, all the way to the edges. Starting with a long edge, roll up dough tightly (use parchment paper to help roll up the dough) to form a 12-inch-long roll.
- Cut roll into 12 (1-inch) slices. Arrange dough slices in an 11 x 7–inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake until lightly browned, 22 to 25 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before topping with glaze.
- Combine remaining ½ cup powdered sugar, remaining 2 tablespoon yogurt, and remaining ¼ teaspoon vanilla, stirring until smooth. Drizzle glaze over cinnamon rolls. Serve warm.
- Serving size: 1 cinnamon roll, 5 points

Greek Yogurt with self-rising flour can be really tricky to work with. If the dough is sticky add some more flour to the surface or rolling pin.

I haven't tried them with your corrections. I'd use the WW recipe builder to figure out the points for that.
Heather Aubin says
I’m wondering if you make icing with just powdered sugar and water or fruit juice, like lemon or pineapple, how would the points be cut?
Rebcca Robinson says

I cut the recipe in half to make so I divided the total calories you provided by 2 and got 117 calories. I will be making this and baking the cinnamon rolls with a waffle maker and oozing the icing on it before I eat it. Thank you for the recipe. I am currently trying to get off processed food and making my own meals for one. and storing the rest for whenever I want them for breakfast. I only plan to eat two each meal.
