Ingredients
Dough
- 1 ½ cups full fat Greek yogurt I used Wallaby
- 1 ½ cups self rising flour plus more as needed*
- 1 coop (29g) plant-based vanilla protein powder I used Truvani
Filling
- 2 Tablespoons butter melted
- 2 Tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Glaze
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 teaspoons almond milk
- 2 Tablespoons full fat Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease or line an 8x8 square baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, self-rising flour and protein powder. Mix until the dough becomes shaggy and starts to come together.
- Knead the dough with your hands until smooth and no longer sticky, forming it into a ball. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.
- Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rest for about 30 minutes on the counter.
- Flour your work surface and rolling pin. Roll the dough into a rectangle about 10 x 12 inches, approximately ¼ inch thick.
- Brush the melted butter evenly over the surface of the dough. Sprinkle the dough with sugar and cinnamon, ensuring an even layer.
- Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 9 equal pieces, about 1.5 inches wide each.
- Arrange the rolls in the prepared baking dish, leaving a little space between them. Bake for 30-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a roll comes out clean.
- While the rolls are cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar, Greek yogurt, and almond milk in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the almond milk for your desired consistency.
- Let the cinnamon rolls cool for 5-10 minutes before drizzling the glaze over the top. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- 1 ½
- Self-rising flour: If you don’t have or can’t find self-rising flour you can make your own by combining 2 cups all-purpose flour with 3 teaspoons baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt. Once you have the mixture, measure out 1 ½ cups for the recipe. Just remember this might tweak the protein content slightly.
