Protein Cinnamon Rolls

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

For the dough: In a large bowl, mix the 60g (2 scoops) vanilla or cinnamon whey/casein blend protein powder, 180g (1.5 cups) self-rising flour (or all-purpose flour + 2 teaspoons of 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 up 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 on the sheet of dough, then sprinkle the brown sugar/cinnamon mix on top. Carefully roll the dough up.

Chop the rolled dough into 10-12 rolls. Bake for 20 minutes at 350°F.

For the protein icing: Mix 31g (one scoop) vanilla whey or casein blend, 20g powdered sugar substitute, and 1 tbsp milk of choice. Eat the cinnamon rolls while they’re hot!
