Even Better Christmas Morning Cinnamon Rolls (Sorry Paula Deen)

Ok- so a friend mentioned she was making a recipe from The Pioneer Woman's website, and I just had to make these as well because they looked TOO good! Her recipe is here:

And if you are interested in making them just a little more healthy, you can use these substitutions:

Ingredients

Pioneer Woman: My suggestions:

  • 1 quart Whole Milk- use raw milk
  • 1 cup Vegetable Oil- use coconut oil
  • 1 cup Sugar- use xylitol, raw honey or cane sugar (I tested out the raw honey in the dough, but not in the filling)
  • 2 packages Active Dry Yeast
  • 8 cups (Plus 1 Cup Extra, Separated) All-purpose Flour- use whole wheat or experiement with your favorite gluten free flours
  • 1 teaspoon (heaping) Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon (scant) Baking Soda
  • 1 Tablespoon (heaping) Salt- use sea salt
  • Plenty Of Melted Butter- use organic butter
  • 2 cups Sugar- use xylitol or raw honey or cane sugar
  • Generous Sprinkling Of Cinnamon
  • _____
  • MAPLE FROSTING:
  • 1 bag Powdered Sugar- use powdered xylitol or powdered cane sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Maple Flavoring (I did not use this, but I am sure you could use real maple syrup)
  • ½ cups Milk- use raw milk
  • ¼ cups Melted Butter- use organic butter
  • ¼ cups Brewed Coffee (I also did not use this)
  • ⅛ teaspoons Salt- use sea salt
  • * I use organic vanilla extract instead, and it tasted fine :)
