Ingredients
CINNAMON ROLLS
- 1 ¾ cup flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ¼ cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
FILLING
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 2 tablespoon coconut oil or butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
FROSTING
- ½ cup cream cheese
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt.
- Add greek yogurt and mix until ball begins to form. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a thin rectangle (about ½ an inch).
- Combine sugar, coconut oil and cinnamon until a paste forms. Evenly spread over the dough. Slowly roll dough starting from one of the shorter rectangular sides.
- Place a string under the dough and cross the ends to cut into 5-6 even cinnamon buns.
- Arrange in a prepared pan and bake for 10-15 min or until edges are golden brown.
- In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and plain Greek yogurt with an electric mixer until smooth. Add in the maple syrup and vanilla and mix until fully combined. Remove cinnamon buns and allow to cool. Spread icing on top and enjoy!
