Easy cinnamon roll recipe: secret ingredient & delicious topping
Easy cinnamon rolls full of cinnamon flavor and pure sweetness without refined sugar. And the best thing about this recipe is – it is so easy and quick – you do not need to spend hours in the kitchen and wait till your dough rises. We substitute the dough with a secret ingredient that shortens prep time a lot.
We do not use any refined sugar in this recipe, but the rolls are incredibly sweet. This is because of the combination of sweet apples and raisins that give this recipe a very sweet taste. The taste is natural and is not overloaded with sugar. The best thing about cinnamon rolls is always a topping. But in most cases the topping is overloaded with lots of sugar powder. That is why cinnamon rolls are usually full of sugar and also very calorie dense. This recipe is different: to make the topping sweet and creamy, but not to overload it with refined sugar, I am using greek yogurt, cream cheese and some maple syrup. This makes the topping healthier and lower in calories.
To shorten the preparation time and not to spend hours in the kitchen making the dough, I am using a secret ingredient that you would definitely have at home. I am substituting making the dough by using tortilla wraps. It is so easy, you can use them to make cinnamon rolls that are ready very quickly.
