These dog cinnamon rolls are the perfect breakfast treat for the upcoming holiday season. Don't leave your pooch out of the holiday celebration!
This weekend was a lot of fun. the kids went off to their dad's for the weekend. One kid went out for a fun night hike with friends while the other one went on a campout and the other one got to see the My Little Pony movie.
I opted for doing two exhausting workouts in one day (ugh, arms and chest!--painful!) and then a hike up to Scout Falls with the dog.
We also celebrated my Mom's birthday with a trip to Cheesecake Factory before picking up the kids from their dad.
While I'm totally regretting stealing those few bites of cheesecake now, it was worth it. Godiva chocolate cheesecake? My stomach hurts like crazy but it was delicious while eating it!
Last weekend we made some homemade cinnamon rolls. As we were making the rolls, my six year old said "Mom, Chelsea needs some cinnamon rolls too." We searched the internet and found a few recipes that worked and started making some dough. These are simple and easy to make. They are the perfect activity to make with the kids or as a quick treat to make for your dog too.
Ingredients
- 2 cups oat flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup oil
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp. honey
- 2 tbsp. oats
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
- ¼ cup cream cheese, softened (for a lighter version you can use light cream cheese)
- 1 tbsp. milk or water
Instructions
- In a mixer, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, water, oil, egg, honey and oats until a ball forms. If dough is too sticky, add more oat flour one tablespoon at a time until it forms a soft ball.
- Flour the surface you will be rolling dough onto. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a baking sheet. Roll the dough until it is a rectangle and rolled to approximately ½ inch in thickness.
- Sprinkle the dough evenly with cinnamon then cut the dough into 2 inch wide by 12 inch long strips. Place on the baking sheet, then bake for 15-18 minutes or until dough is lightly browned. Remove from oven and allow cinnamon rolls to cool completely before frosting.
- Once the cinnamon rolls have cooled, mix together the softened cream cheese and milk or water until a frosting like consistency is formed. Frost each cinnamon roll.
- Refrigerate or freeze rolls to store.
