This is another piece of gold for me! Every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas, my mom makes these amazing butterhorn rolls {aka crescent rolls}. They taste great and go perfectly with just about any feast. However, they are made with processed white flour and one of the main ingredients is vegetable shortening. This is obviously a 70’s or 80’s recipe here!
So, not wanting to miss out on these rolls this year in spite being on Trim Healthy Mama, I redid and healthified this recipe! The result isn’t quite as flaky and does have a somewhat nuttier flavor, but they still taste amazing and they still make me feel like I’m getting a pampering carb fix even though I’m not. And, as a bonus, the kids really love them!
Healthy Crescent Rolls
To make these healthy and, more so, THM friendly, I used sprouted wheat flour. Now, when I first did the THM plan, wheat flour of any kind was pretty much a no! But as I have learned more and as the THM program has evolved, this flour–so long as it it sprouted–now works on plan. Which means yum!
With using each of the ingredients that I specifically linked to {if I didn’t link to anything, then any brand of that ingredient works}, this recipe falls into the SH {Satisfying Helper} category when you eat 1 with a Fuel Pull meal. If you eat 2 with an S meal, it lifts into the XO {Crossover} realm which is great for a rare treat during weight loss mode and perfect for weight maintenance.
Why can’t I print this awesome recipe?
THANK YOU!!! My kids’ request for pigs in blankets brought me here. 😀 Can’t wait to try these.
