High Protein Low Calorie Cinnamon Rolls

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

For the dough: In a large bowl, mix the 60g protein powder, 180g self-rising flour (or all-purpose flour + 2 tsp baking powder), 60g granulated sugar substitute, 42g light butter, 75g plain nonfat Greek yogurt, 75g unsweetened applesauce, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until you get a thick dough.

Flour a piece of parchment paper and roll the dough into a large, thin rectangle.

For the protein cinnamon filling: Combine 36g light butter, 50g brown sugar substitute, and 2 tsp cinnamon. Spread the light butter evenly on the rolled dough sheet, then sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mix on top.

Carefully roll up the dough into a log.

Chop the log into 10-12 rolls.

Place the rolls on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes at 350°F (175°C).

For the protein icing: While the rolls are baking, mix 31g vanilla whey or casein blend, 20g powdered sugar substitute, and 1 tbsp milk of choice until smooth.

Once baked, remove the cinnamon rolls from the oven and spread the protein icing generously on top. Eat them while they’re hot!
