Frosted Cinnamon Protein Buns
2 points
So I tried to make frosted cinnamon protein buns with Kodiak Protein Pancake mix. I made about 14 to 16 rolls in a single batch. These are two points each on Weight Watchers.
The rest will be frozen for another day when I’m in the mood for something sweet. Be sure to check out our list of the best Weight Watchers snacks to take on the go.
Notes I often substitute Kodiak protein pancake mix for flour in recipes that require flour to bring the point down. I used Splenda brown sugar substitute and Splenda white sugar substitute. I was shocked at the brown sugar it looks and feels the same.
