Steps

1. 1

   Using an immersion blender or standard blender, blend the cottage cheese until all curds are removed and the texture is completely smooth.

2. 2

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry dough ingredients: 50g flour, 10g protein powder, 1/4 tsp baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

3. 3

   Add 60g of the blended cottage cheese to the dry mixture. Mix with a spatula until it forms a soft, non-sticky dough.

4. 4

   Preheat your air fryer to 325°F (160 °C) (163°C (325 °F)).

5. 5

   Lightly spray a cutting board or flat surface with oil. Press the dough out into a flat rectangle.

6. 6

   Apply a light spray of oil or butter to the dough, then sprinkle generously with cinnamon and 1 tbsp of brown sugar substitute. Use a spatula to lightly press the filling into the dough.

7. 7

   Roll the dough up tightly into a log.

8. 8

   Spray a knife with oil to prevent sticking and slice the log into small rolls (approximately 9 pieces).

9. 9

   Place the rolls on a small piece of crumpled parchment paper and transfer to the air fryer.

10. 10

    Air fry at 325°F (160 °C) for 4–5 minutes. Check them early to ensure they stay soft inside and do not overcook.
