I got this recipe from Weight Watchers magazine a few years ago. It's a great alternative to a huge, really-bad-for-you cinnamon roll.
2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon unsalted butter, melted
1 (11-oz) tube refrigerated breadsticks
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons reduced-fat cream cheese
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray 9x13 baking pan with nonstick spray.
2. Combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter in a small bowl; set aside.
3. Separate the breadsticks into 12 strips. Sprinkle the tops with the brown sugar mixture and roll each one into a spiral, pressing to seal the ends. Arrange in the baking pan about 1 inch apart and bake until lightly golden, 15-18 minutes. Cool on a rack 10 minutes.
4. To prepare the frosting, combine the powdered sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla in a small bowl, adding a few drops of water if needed to make a smooth, spreadable glaze. Drizzle over the tops of the warm rolls and let stand a few minutes to set. Serve warm.

OK, now I'll have to have some of these. Sounds like a plan for Saturday morning!
See you back here on Friday for my weigh-in! It was a bad weekend, but the week is OK. Don't know if I'll actually lose anything this week though.

Oh my gosh that sounds awesome. I'm getting the ingrediants on my next grocery trip. Would you mind linking this recipe up to my Five Point Friday that I posted today? I think my WW readers would love it too. Thanks for sharing such a yummy breakfast!!
