My Kitchen in the Shelter: Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon rolls are the "treat" breakfast item I used to make especially for Sundays.  Unfortunately, I have to admit that many of those rolls came from a can.  Sorry, Pillsbury, but that wasn't the best choice I've ever made.  Now I'm learning ways to make things fit into my schedule...and the cans are long gone.  These were requested for Easter morning, so I pulled out a roll recipe that I've recently adapted for bread.  It worked great for these too with a little tweaking.  Too well, from how quickly they disappeared. :)

This recipe is actually one of the first I ever found on the Internet, so I have no clue as to the source.  I have adapted it a bit for my needs.  It is a great go-to recipe.

Cinnamon Rolls
Mix in large bowl of stand mixer:
1 cup warm water
1/3 cup coconut oil or butter, softened
1/4 cup unrefined sugar or sucanat
1 tbsp. dry yeast
pinch ginger, couple of pinches citric acid (both are dough enhancers; more information on that here:  http://www.tammysrecipes.com/node/2814 )

Allow to stand 5-10 minutes.  After yeast is bubbly, add:
1 egg
1 tsp. salt
3 1/2 cups flour (I used 2 cups bread flour and 1 1/2 cups whole wheat)

Knead in mixer about 5 minutes.  Add a bit more flour as needed for dough to clean the sides of the bowl - but not too much or the rolls will be dry and dense.  Roll out kneaded dough into a 9 X 12 rectangle.  Spread with:
2 tbsp. melted butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 - 2 tbsp. cinnamon

Roll from long side; use dental floss to slice into 12 rolls. Place in greased 9x12 pan.  Allow to rise and bake when doubled in size or refrigerate, covered, overnight.  In the morning, take rolls out of the refrigerator 2 hours before baking and allow them to rise in a warm place.  Bake at 375 degrees for 20-30 minutes, covering if needed to prevent overbrowning.  Top with icing while warm.

Cinnamon Roll Icing
3 oz. cream cheese, softened
1-2 cups confectioners sugar (I have read that you can make your own with a food processor and sucanat, but haven't been successful with that to this point)
a splash of vanilla
a splash of milk

Beat all together to form a thick, creamy icing.  Spread over warm rolls.

 Yum.  Enough said.

Anybody have suggestions for making this icing healthier?  There would be a revolt if I eliminated it altogether....
