  • Greek yogurt is considered great for a variety of reasons. It is typically higher in protein and lower in sugar than regular yogurt, making it a good choice for those looking to maintain a balanced diet.
  • Erythritol (sugar substitute) - if you know the conversions for a different sugar substitute feel free to use that!
  • Cinnamon - is a spice that comes from the inner bark of several trees from the genus Cinnamomum.
  • Sugar-Free caramel sauce - such as Smuckers
  • 15 sprays of butter spray

Recipe Tip: If your dough still feels a little sticky, sprinkle flour onto dough until it feels solid and easy to separate.

For larger caramel rolls cut the dough into 4 equal pieces.

Step 3: Next, coat the cutting board with flour and lay the dough out on the cutting board. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to form a rectangular shape. (You can do this on a cutting board or clean work surface)

Step 4: Spritz the dough 15 times with butter spray. Sprinkle the dough with cinnamon and sugar.
