Blake's Birthday Breakfast

Today is my boyfriends 24th birthday. So I go up this morning and made HG (Hungry Girl) Gooey Cinnamon Rolls, Egg Beaters, and Turkey bacon. This was an AMAZING breakfast and would like to give all of you the recipe for the cinnamon rolls.

gooey cinnamon rolls with cream cheese icing

Ingredients
For Dough
1 pkg Pillsbury Reduced Fat Crescent Rolls refrigerated dough
16 sprays I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! Spray

For Filling
1/4 cup dark brown sugar (not packed) I used splenda brown sugar
1/4 cup Splenda No Calorie Sweeener (granulated)
1/2 tablespoon light whiped butter or light buttery spread, room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt

For Icing
1/4 cup Cool Whip Free, thaw
3 Tablespoons fat-free cream cheese, room temperature
1 Tablespoons Splenda

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
To make filling, combine all ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring well to make sure the butter gets mixed in evenly, set aside.

To make icing, combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix until smooth and blended. Place in the fridge to chill and set.

Prepare a dry surface by sprinkling it with a small amount of flour to prevent sticking. Remove dough from package and knead into a ball.

Using a rolling pin dusted lightly with flour, very firmly roll out dough into a thin sheet about 8 inches by 12 inches. Spray the dough's sureface evenly with butter.

Spread filling out evenly over the dough, leaving aa 1/2inch border around the edges.

Starting with a long side of the dough, roll it up tightly, forming a log. Once dough is completely rolled up, pinch the long seam to seal.

Turn the log over so that the seam is facing down. Using a very sharp knife, cut log into 8 even pieces, being careful not to squish the dough.

Spary a baking pan with nonstick spary and arrange pieces of dough in the pan with swirl sides facing up. Use your hands to firmly press down on the tops of the pieces. Pinch the side seams to seal, if necessary.

Cover pan with foil. Bake in oven for 8 minutes.

Remove foil and return pan to oven. Bake for and additional 5 minutes, or until cinnamon rolls have risen and are slightly browned on top.

Evenly distribute icing over cinnamon rolls and then enjoy!

Makes 8 servings
