Greek Yogurt Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients

• 1.75 cup Flour (Plus more as needed for dusting the work surface)
• 1.25 cup Greek yogurt (For the dough)
• 1.75 tsp Baking powder
• 2.5 tbsp Butter (For the filling)
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar sweetener (For the filling)
• 1 tbsp Cinnamon (For the filling)
• 2 tbsp Cream cheese (For the glaze)
• 2 tbsp Greek yogurt (For the glaze)
• 1 tbsp Powdered sugar (The recipe specifies Swerve)
• Vanilla bean paste (Amount not specified)
• Cooking spray or grease for the baking dish (For greasing the dish; amount not specified)

Steps

1. 1

   Place the flour, Greek yogurt, and baking powder in a bowl. Mix until a dough forms.

2. 2

   Transfer the dough to a well-floured surface and knead until smooth.

3. 3

   Roll the dough into a rectangle; trim and adjust the edges as needed to shape it.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, mix the butter, brown sugar sweetener, and cinnamon until well combined.

5. 5

   Spread the butter mixture evenly over the dough.

6. 6

   Roll the dough into a log; keep it tightly rolled to create well-defined spirals.

7. 7

   Cut the log into 9 rolls and place them in a greased baking dish.

8. 8

   Bake at 350 °F (approximately 175 °C) for 35–40 minutes.

9. 9

   While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla bean paste. The written recipe lists these ingredients for the glaze; the published preparation step mistakenly mentions mixing the filling.

10. 10

    Let the rolls cool slightly and spread the glaze over them. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

The recipe indicates that it makes 7 to 9 rolls and that each one provides approximately 160 kcal and 8 g of protein. The transcript suggests that the butter in the filling can be replaced with coconut oil and that the glaze can be made with Greek yogurt alone; it also mentions protein powder as an option. The written glaze step appears to mistakenly repeat the filling ingredients, so the glaze ingredient list was followed. The amount of vanilla bean paste is not specified.
