About Cinnamon roll with icing
A cinnamon roll with icing is a sweet, spiral-shaped pastry that originated in Northern Europe, particularly Sweden, where it is traditionally called 'kanelbulle.' It has since become a popular treat worldwide, especially in American bakeries. The dough is typically enriched with butter, sugar, and milk, filled with a cinnamon-sugar mixture, and topped with a glaze or cream cheese-based icing. Nutritionally, a single cinnamon roll is high in carbohydrates, primarily from sugars and refined flour, and contains moderate amounts of fat, particularly saturated fats, from butter and icing. It provides small amounts of calcium and iron but is relatively low in fiber and protein. A standard cinnamon roll can contain 350-500 calories, depending on size and recipe.
Health Benefits
- Provides a quick source of energy due to its high carbohydrate content (mainly simple sugars).
- Contains small amounts of calcium (about 2-4% of daily value) from added milk and icing ingredients.
- Cinnamon, a key ingredient, has antioxidant properties due to its polyphenol content, potentially benefiting overall health.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store cinnamon rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat in the oven for a fresher texture.
Common Questions About Cinnamon roll with icing Nutrition
How many calories and nutrients are in a cinnamon roll with icing?
A standard cinnamon roll with icing contains around 350-450 calories, depending on size and specific recipe. It usually has 4-6 grams of protein, 50-70 grams of carbohydrates, 15-20 grams of fat, and very minimal amounts of vitamins or minerals. It is primarily a source of simple carbs and added sugars.
Can I eat a cinnamon roll with icing on a keto or low-carb diet?
Cinnamon rolls with icing are not keto- or low-carb-friendly as they are high in carbohydrates, with most versions containing 50-70 grams of carbs per serving. This is far above the daily allowed carb intake for these diets, which typically ranges from 20-50 grams.
Are cinnamon rolls with icing healthy to eat?
Cinnamon rolls with icing are not considered healthy due to their high levels of refined sugar, saturated fats, and lack of essential nutrients. They can contribute to weight gain and blood sugar spikes when consumed frequently. However, enjoying them occasionally as part of a balanced diet is okay for most people.
How much of a cinnamon roll with icing is a reasonable serving size?
A reasonable serving size is usually one individual cinnamon roll, which is often between 3-4 ounces (85-115 grams). If the roll is oversized, consider splitting it and pairing it with a protein-rich food like Greek yogurt to balance your meal.
How do cinnamon rolls with icing compare to other pastries like croissants or donuts?
Cinnamon rolls with icing typically have more sugar and total calories than plain croissants or glazed donuts due to the icing and sweet filling. However, croissants are higher in saturated fats, while donuts may be fried, adding extra fat. Each pastry has its own nutritional trade-offs!
