This is a sample version of a Freestyle cookbook I'm working on. I've reached out…
2 Ingredient Dough Cinnamon Rolls – 1 SmartPoint (Freestyle)
These delicious 2 ingredient dough cinnamon rolls are perfect whether you're on WeightWatchers or not. They're tasty without being too sweet, and they're not doughy. Adding the cinnamon to the 2 ingredient dough really helps kick the flavor up a notch.

Ingredients for 2 Ingredient Dough Cinnamon Rolls
1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (Fage is best)
1 cup self-rising flour
1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (see notes)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup whipped cream cheese
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Splenda
water
Notes: I use vanilla bean paste. It's most affordable (less than $10) at Wal-Mart (found in the cake decorating aisle). You CAN use vanilla extract, I just REALLY love vanilla bean paste. :)
How to Make 2 Ingredient Dough Cinnamon Rolls
Combine yogurt, flour, vanilla bean paste, and cinnamon together in a mixing bowl. Knead by hand until the dough forms a ball. Roll out onto the floured surface.
Combine cream cheese, cinnamon, Splenda, and a few teaspoons water. Using the picture as a reference, roll out the dough into three sections, adding cream cheese mixture as you roll.
Cut each section into 8 pieces. You will get 24 rolls total. That makes them 1 point each.
Place in Air Fryer at 400*F for about 12 minutes. You can also bake these in the oven. I tried them a few different ways but LOVE the Air Fryer version. If you prefer the over, bake them at 350*F for 15 minutes and watch them as ovens do tend to cook differently.
Once you remove the cinnamon rolls from the Air Fryer, drizzle with the remaining cream cheese mixture. You may need to heat it up a bit to make it thin enough to drizzle.

I just made a batch of the 2 ingredient dough. I used half for a pizza the other half I tried something else. I rolled my dough out added spray butter mixed Substitute sugar and cinnamon in a bowl then sprinkled over the butter. I added cooked small apple pieces I softened in the microwave added that on top of sugar mix rolled it up and then cut in 12 rolls. They were yummy.
I am going to try yours next. I didn’t have any cream cheese, it is on my Grocery list.
Thank you for the great recipe
Arko says
Thanks! And thanks for sharing your great posts every week!
Wendy says
I don’t have an air fryer. Can I bake them at 400 in the oven?
SlapDashMom says
Yes!
Cheryl says
And they are called two ingredient because….?
SlapDashMom says
Because they use 2 ingredient dough, obviously.
Dana says
It was not at all obvious to me why they were called 2 ingredient cinnamon rolls. I found it to be quite misleading. But thanks for the recipe…
SlapDashMom says
It says “2 ingredient dough” cinnamon rolls – because the base is the infamous 2 ingredient dough. Sorry if you missed that?
Jen says
ooh! I was wondering too lol. When you put quotation marks on it, it makes sense. Otherwise, it doesn’t. Should add those quotations in the title for us newbies to this trend. Hoping try this.
SlapDashMom says
Quotes don’t work in the title, it messes things up as far as search goes for my blog. I figured I explained it fairly well but if not it’s easy to see there are more ingredients, they’re delish and worth a try. ;)
Anonymous says
I was wondering the same thing.
Nancy says
Hello, what would be the cooking time if I doubled this recipe? Just double the time?
Cheryl Keeffe says
Could I do these in my nu-wave oven? It only goes to 350 so I’m guessing I’d have to adjust the baking time.
Tina says
Could you use fat free cream cheese instead of the whipped cream cheese. I wouldn’t know what to do with the left over cream cheese because I use only fat free.
SlapDashMom says
Absolutely :)
Melanie J Graffius says
Perhaps you can help me…
I’ve tried this recipe several times and always have disappointing results :-(
I’ve tried it with more flour, less flour, more baking time, less baking time and my ‘dough’ is always too sticky or stodgy and the flavor is sadly lacking…
I use Fage 5% Full Fat Yogurt.
And, I use organic regular flour and add the baking powder and salt. I always mix it well, but could that be the issue?
Thanks…
Shannon says
If I cook these in a regular oven do I cook them at 400*?
How long do they cook in the regular oven?
Laurie Bennett says
What a great question!! I just updated the recipe for a regular oven as well. I’d bake them on 350*F for 15 minutes and watch them carefully as all ovens heat differently. Thanks again and please enjoy! Laurie
