Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (50g) vanilla protein powder
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sweetener
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup (240g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
  • 3 tbsp softened butter
  • ⅓ cup (70g) brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt or light cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder
  • 1 to 2 tbsp milk or water
  • 1 tbsp sweetener (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Whisk flour, ½ cup protein powder, sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Add 1 cup yogurt and melted butter, stir to form a dough.
  2. On a floured surface, knead a few times until smooth. Roll into a 9x12-inch rectangle. Spread softened butter, sprinkle mixed brown sugar and cinnamon, press gently.
  3. Roll up tightly from a long side, pinch seam, cut into 9 pieces. Place in a greased 8x8-inch pan. Bake 18 to 22 minutes until lightly golden and set.
  4. Mix ½ cup yogurt, 2 tbsp protein powder, and milk into a pourable frosting. Spread over slightly cooled rolls and serve warm.

Notes

Let the rolls rest 5 minutes before frosting so the glaze doesn’t melt into the hot dough. These are at their best the day they’re made but store well for a couple of days.
