Notes

*Please see post contents for important recipe information, substitutions and tips!
*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!
