Ingredients for Protein Cinnamon Rolls

Here's what you need to make these treats:

• For the Dough:

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1/4 cup Vanilla Whey Protein
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • A pinch of salt

• For the Filling:

  • 3 tbsp coconut sugar (or your preferred sweetener)
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp melted coconut oil

• For the Glaze (Optional):

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (or a healthier alternative)
  • 1-2 tbsp almond milk (to reach the right thickness)

Instructions to Make Protein Cinnamon Rolls

1. Make the dough. In a bowl, mix whole wheat flour, Greek yogurt, milk, Vanilla Whey Protein, honey, baking powder, and salt until a dough forms. Knead it on a lightly floured surface for one minute until it feels smooth.

2. Roll the dough. Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle.

3. Add the filling. Melt the coconut oil and brush it on the dough. Then, sprinkle coconut sugar and cinnamon evenly on top.

4. Roll and cut. Start at one long edge and roll the dough into a tight log. With a sharp knife, cut the log into 8 equal pieces.

5. Bake the rolls. Warm your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the rolls in a greased baking dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until they turn a light brown color.

6. Mix the glaze (if you wish). In a small bowl, stir together the powdered sugar and almond milk. Adjust with a bit more milk if needed until you get the right flow.

7. Top and serve. When the rolls come out warm, drizzle the glaze on top. Enjoy your treat!
