Method

1. Preheat Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a small baking dish with parchment paper.

2. Make the dough In a bowl, mix the self-raising flour, Greek yoghurt, and plant protein until a soft dough forms. If it feels a little sticky, dust your hands with a touch of extra flour. Mix just until combined, no need to overwork it.

3. Roll out Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a rectangle.

4. Add the filling Melt the butter and stir in the coconut sugar and cinnamon. Spread it evenly over the dough, right to the edges.

5. Shape Roll the dough up tightly from the long edge into a log, then cut into 4 to 6 equal rounds. Place them cut-side up in your prepared dish.

6. Bake Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until golden on top and cooked through.

7. Glaze While the rolls bake, whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle generously over the warm rolls and serve straight away.

Nutrition

Storage

Best enjoyed fresh and warm, straight from the oven.

Any leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, just warm them through and add the glaze fresh for the best result.

FAQs about High Protein Cinnamon Rolls

  • Yes. Use a plant-based Greek-style yoghurt and swap the butter for melted coconut oil to keep them fully dairy free.

  • It's flour with a raising agent already mixed in. To DIY: add 2 tsp baking powder per 1 cup of plain flour.

  • Custard Filled Cinnamon Donut brings the signature cosy cinnamon flavour, but Vanilla Cake Batter would also work beautifully.

  • Simply dust your hands and surface with a little extra flour until it's workable, just avoid adding too much or the rolls can turn dense.

  • These are best enjoyed fresh, but you can assemble the rolls and keep them covered in the fridge, then bake fresh when you're ready.
