HEALTHIER CLONE OF A CINNABON

Healthier Clone of a Cinnabon image

Who doesn't love a Cinnabon? These taste so yummy but I always look for a way to make things a little healthier without changing the taste. I just spread a little less butter and use Neufchatel cheese and this recipe still tastes great.
