Low Calorie Sausage Rolls

Honestly? Some things just aren't worth substituting out. Have them as an occasional indulgence, and enjoy them all the more when you do have them.

How about eating half a roll?

You might try a biscuit dough which is pretty easy for beginners. It will be lower in fat but it won't be the same texture.

We have sausage rolls in Canada. A slightly stronger EU influence here.

*shrugs*. You can enjoy your ascetic deprivation if that's what works for you.

I enjoy the occasional deliberate indulgence. That something has 50% fat doesn't make it a non-option for me. Sure, my macros are frequently not optimal, but that's between me, my scale, and my doctor.

Enjoy the real thing in moderation is a viable solution. In the instant circumstance, it seems that most attempts at a substitute are going to result in a vastly inferior product, with negligible nutritive improvement. (I may be incorrect, but it's for the OP to decide.) Given a negligible improvement for a lesser experience, my opinion is go for the real thing. Your mileage, and that of the OP, may vary.

They sell reduced fat puff pastry at supermarkets near me, but I'm in NZ so that may not be much help haha. I have made lower cal sausage rolls by subbing half sausage meat for lean mince, and bulking out the mix with grated and finely cut veggies like onion, carrot, and zucchini. Pretty tasty and really helps with sausage roll cravings! May have to make some soon, really wanting one now!
