[@evitaevita98]

I've made these twice for my husband and they are delicious! Thank you for the recipe.

[@MindOverMunch]

+Eva C so glad you enjoy! I love making them, too :)

[@mole62ssf]

Mmmmmmm cinnamon rolls on yeast dough. One of the best aromas humans can create. And the hearts are so cute. Because my Valentine has died I won't be heart-shaping the rolls, but I absolutely will try this recipe out! Using g-f flour 'course. Thanks Alyssia!

[@MindOverMunch]

LOVE cinnamon rolls!! Definitely one of our best creations!

Sounds great

[@alyssamarie771]

todays my birthday and i have been dying for a cinnamon bun and i told myself that i was going to the amish farmers market and buying myself one, but i couldnt bring myself to do it, I remembered seeing this a little while back and decided to make this one instead. BEST decision !! I didn't feel like i was missing out on a thing from the real thing! I ate 2 and am going to have another after dinner for my dessert :-) Thanks again!!

[@MindOverMunch]

Oh my gosh! Happy belated birthday! I'm so flattered you took the time to make this recipe, as it can be rather time intensive, but I agree-- it's SO worth it! I'm so glad you enjoyed it as much as I do! Thank you so much for reaching out to let me know! I can't tell you how much I appreciate it! :)

[@mmforeverelvisful]

Seven people were extremely confused and accidentally hit the 'thumbs down' button. I can't wait to try this! Thank you!

[@MindOverMunch]

[@karlaavalos2362]

Tus vídeos son muy cool :D i loved

[@MindOverMunch]

karla avalos Thank you so much! I appreciate it!

[@chewingforlife]

I like how your angel is right on spot! Can I use apple sauce instead of pumpkin puree?

[@MindOverMunch]

Thank you! I haven't tried for this specific recipe, but often use apple sauce as a fat substitute so it may work! If you try let me know so I can pass along to others!!

[@paolagomes2379]

I love your videos!!!!!!!

[@MindOverMunch]

So glad to hear that, thanks for the support!! :)

[@NinjaDinosaurfish]

I made these with a food processor and they were awesome!

[@MindOverMunch]

I'm so glad!! Thank you for letting me know!!! You didn't use a stand mixer at all? I'd love to pass on your success to other viewers!

[@NinjaDinosaurfish]

No stand mixer! Food processor worked fine!

Hey Alyssia, my name is Brooke. I'm a dietetic intern at Vanderbilt. I am creating an article for the staff on healthy baking substitutions (pumpkin replaces fat) and wanted to know if I could use your recipe for my article? I was going to email you, but there isn't an email provided! Let me know! I have made this recipe numerous times and I love it. Thanks, Brooke

[@gddss29]

any chance of getting a gluten-free bagel recipe? That would be awesome!! Haven't had a bagel in 7 years :(

[@MindOverMunch]

gddss29 I wish! Healthy bagels in general are a tough one, but I'll brainstorm! I do know they have some gluten free bagels at the store, I think in the frozen section :) Thanks for the suggestion!

[@thuanchau8048]

When r these best by or do they expire?

[@MindOverMunch]

+Thuan Chau they are best fresh but will last a few days in the fridge 😊

[@gracesemler2984]

Would this recipe work with only wheat or oat flour? Thanks!

[@MindOverMunch]

celeste semler I recommend using a blend- only whole wheat will yield a very gummy consistency and I've found it doesn't become as doughy with only oat flour. Only all purpose will work, but I like to blend it with wheat &/or oat to add nutrition :)

[@gracesemler2984]

Thank you!

[@California92122]

Alyssia, does the oat flour have a special role? I'm not into oats, and I can't buy oat flour around here, so may I just use more whole wheat flour or substitute oat flour with almond flour? Cinnamon rolls are among my favorite sweets, and I'd really love to find a lower calories version. Thanks!

[@MindOverMunch]

The oat flour can just be a more fuel-filled choice, and it also gives these a bit of a softer texture! You could substitute for another flour, or you can very easily make your own oat flour! Just grind up some oats - they won't taste like oats at all :) almond flour may be a bit too dense for this recipe, but a wheat flour might work! kzbin.info/www/bejne/povNkIV6e8aMbdk

[@California92122]

I will give it a try! I love cinnamon rolls! I have been doing so well, eating clean food for 5 months, and yesterday I fell of the wagon and had a Starbucks cinnamon roll!!! Processed white flour and sugar! 🙊 It was yummy, but now I'm on my way to the gym...

[@Emilysimply]

Can you let the dough sit longer than 20 minutes? Like over night? I'm trying to see if I could make the dough and night and cook them in the morning before school.

[@MindOverMunch]

emilysimply Because this dough is made with rapid rise yeast it shouldn't sit longer than the 20-30 minutes. The recipe would have to be revised to sit overnight. I have made them and reheated them in the microwave though and they're tasty! :)

[@gabrielam9849]

Can I make the dough with all purpose gluten free and oat flour? And can I substitute the whole egg for egg whites?

[@MindOverMunch]

+Gabriela Michelle Yes! AP GF flour will work with oat flour :) I am not confident in subbing the whole egg for whites, though. I'd suggest keeping the whole eggs to ensure success.

[@gabrielam9849]

+Mind Over Munch thank you so much! ✨

[@NinjaDinosaurfish]

I would love to know if you will be in Times Square March 1st! It's my birthday, and my uncle, mom, dad, best friend, and me are going to NYC (Times Square to be exact) and I would love to meet you! Birthday wish!!!

[@MindOverMunch]

Hi Mary Rose, I'm so sorry I missed this comment! I've seen you as an active subscriber in the past and can't tell you how much I appreciate it! I would LOVE to meet you at some point! Where do you live?

[@NinjaDinosaurfish]

Pennsylvania, sadly! I would have to plan to come out again, but it wouldn't be hard to!

[@NinjaDinosaurfish]

Where are you located in New York City? I am planning for this month!

[@MindOverMunch]

Mary Rose Hi love, I'm in the Upper East side. When are you coming? I'm here for now but actually planning to move the last week of August. If you come before then, I'll definitely try to make it work! :) Shoot me an email at [e-mail] so I don't miss your comment!

[@NinjaDinosaurfish]

Okay thank you!

[@priscillajimenez27]

I don't doubt you, but how do you calculate the nutrition facts of your recipes so I can do it for my recipes? Also how much sugar, fiber, and other nutrients are in your rolls? 🍥😋

[@MindOverMunch]

I use myfitnesspal :) I did a video on it a while ago

[@Cupcake7119]

How much calories will is be if I don't make the glaze?

[@MindOverMunch]

I'm not sure, you would have to calculate it out :)

[@maxie6356]

How much is 1 packet of yeast

[@MindOverMunch]

Cupcake Lovely about 3 Tbsp :)

[@melodieEss]

will these freeze well?

[@MindOverMunch]

+Mellie Bels I don't think so, but I haven't tried.

[@jonathanpeace0]

I started watching because of Instagram... I subscribed because of Glassjaw T

[@MindOverMunch]

jonathan peace lol! too funny. Thanks so much and welcome to the channel!

[@maxie6356]

Can i use coconut milk instead of almond milk

[@MindOverMunch]

Cupcake Lovely for this recipe, yes!! :)

[@lauragm5251]

This is the video where I saw you needed a stand mixer. =)

[@MindOverMunch]

ohhhhh! man! You could probably use a hand mixer if you have one with a dough hook attachment!

[@alyssad7620]

one way i did it was knead it with my hands (cleaned of coarse) and it worked just as well.

[@jazcubilla6710]

Not to be rude or anything (definitely not my intention!), I was just wondering if you had read all the latest health investigations... Fat (when gotten from good quality, organic, grass fed beef, butter, eggs, and cheese) is actually necessary for your cell regeneration and brain. Also, those cooking sprays (many contain hydrogenated oils such as canola, and nasty chemicals which are just horrible) are really bad... Low fat is just a term that a man in the 50's said was better for you than full fat, and that hypothesis has NEVER been proven. I just wanted for you to be aware of these different points of view... Thank you if you took the time to read this! I would like to hear your opinions on this!

[@MindOverMunch]

JazCubilla Thanks for your feedback! Yes, I'm a huge advocate of including healthy fats in your diet, even saturated fat. However, I still promote moderation with fat, especially with foods that offer less nutrition overall, which is why I develop recipes such as this and other lower fat desserts. If people limited themselves to one cinnamon roll every once in a while- go ahead and enjoy the regular variations! But if you're looking for a more nutritious option that you can indulge in a little more, I offer the lower fat and calorie variation. While fat is necessary in a healthy balanced diet, it's still true that if you consume more calories than your body needs, weight will be gained. Because fat has more calories per gram than protein or carbohydrates, we must watch our indulgent fat intake to make sure we aren't consuming too many calories overall :) Thanks for being so polite in your request and comment! I really appreciate it!
