Easy Weight Watchers Cinnamon Rolls Recipe. Discover the perfect breakfast with our simple yet delicious cinnamon rolls recipe.
These rolls are an all-time favorite, with soft, fluffy dough with the blend of cinnamon and brown sugar.
They’re made with everyday pantry ingredients like flour, sugar, yogurt, and eggs, making them an easy baking project for any day of the week.
Baking these cinnamon rolls is not only a fun process, but it also results in a delightful morning surprise that will leave everyone reaching for seconds.
The dough is straightforward to make, thanks to the addition of yogurt, which adds a subtle tanginess and aids in achieving a wonderfully tender texture.
Layered with the sweet-spicy mix of brown sugar and cinnamon, every bite of these rolls is a comforting delight.
These cinnamon rolls are perfect on their own, but a drizzle of the included glaze gives a sweet finish that beautifully complements the rich cinnamon flavor.
Serve them warm from the oven for an irresistibly cozy breakfast or brunch, or pair them with a cup of coffee for a satisfying afternoon treat.
Now, let’s get to the tips and tricks.
Don’t rush the kneading process; it helps to develop the gluten in the flour, giving your cinnamon rolls their classic chewy texture.
If the dough is sticky, adding more flour gradually will help you achieve the right consistency.
Rolling the dough tightly ensures perfect spirals and helps keep the filling in place.
