Ingredients
Scale
For the dough:
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
For the filling:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
For the glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare baking dish: Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- Make the dough: In a large bowl, combine self-rising flour, Greek yogurt, and granulated sugar. Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a lightly floured surface for 2 to 3 minutes until smooth.
- Prepare the filling: Roll dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Brush with melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Roll and bake: Roll up tightly from the long side and slice into 9 even rolls. Arrange rolls in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
- Make the glaze and serve: For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls and serve.
Notes
- If you don’t have self-rising flour, use 2 cups all-purpose flour mixed with 3 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- For added protein, use a high-protein Greek yogurt brand.
