Weight Watchers Conecuh Sausage Bites
These Conecuh Sausage Bites are a tasty and easy treat. We’ve modified the recipe to be more Weight Watchers-friendly while keeping it delicious!
Ingredients:
8 oz Conecuh Sausage (or any reduced-fat sausage)
1 can (8 oz) reduced-fat cinnamon rolls (like Pillsbury Grands! Light Cinnamon Rolls)
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk (use almond or skim milk for fewer points)
Instructions:
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare Sausage:
Slice the sausage into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch long.
Wrap Sausage:
Unroll the cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into 4 small pieces. Wrap each sausage piece with a piece of cinnamon roll dough, pinching the edges to seal.
Bake:
Place the wrapped sausage pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cinnamon roll dough is golden brown and the sausage is cooked through.
Glaze:
While the sausage bites are baking, make the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar with the milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm sausage bites once they’re out of the oven.
Serve:
Allow the bites to cool slightly before serving.
