Notes

Top Tip:

You can make your own: PER CUP of self-rising flour (this recipe needs 1.5 cups) Combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt. How to make self-rising flour: Self-rising flour is all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt added.

For this 2 ingredient dough recipe, you'll need: 1.5 cups flour + 21/4 teaspoon baking powder and ¾ teaspoon salt

Storage:

Store these cinnamon rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

You can freeze them in a sealed container or Ziplock bag for up to 3 months. I like to wrap them individually with plastic wrap first. Defrost at room temperature or microwave for 15-20 seconds

🔢WW Points

Traditional Cinnamon Rolls are between 7 and 14 points, but this two-ingredient dough cinnamon rolls recipe is Weight Watchers friendly @ 4 WW points. You can further reduce the points by using Monkfruit instead of brown sugar.

Alternatively, cut the dough into 16 equal pieces for 2 ww point cinnamon buns.

*NOTE:
Whipped Cream: *I use light real whipped cream (in a spray bottle) because it's only 1 point for 4 tablespoons of this whipped cream because it really adds to these cinnamon buns! There are a couple of different brands you can buy that are only 1 point. Dairyland and Gay Lea are both brands that are WW friendly!
