These irresistible protein cinnamon rolls are packed with protein, lower in calories, and just as indulgent as the classic version. Perfect for a post-workout snack or Sunday morning indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup oat flour (or substitute with almond flour for a lower-carb option)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp erythritol or sugar substitute
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar substitute
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Add the Greek yogurt and almond milk, stirring until a dough forms. Knead gently for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
  2. Lightly flour your surface and roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and erythritol. Brush the melted butter over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon mixture evenly.
  4. Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice into 6-8 equal pieces and place them in your greased baking dish.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are lightly golden and cooked through.
  6. While the rolls bake, whisk together the powdered sugar substitute, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  7. Let the rolls cool for 5 minutes before drizzling the glaze on top. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

[‘If your dough feels sticky, sprinkle a little extra oat flour while kneading.’, ‘Taste your filling mixture before spreading to ensure it’s sweet enough for your liking.’, ‘Check the rolls around the 12-minute mark to prevent overbaking.’]
