ORANGE CINNAMON ROLLS
Ingredients:
Orange Cinnamon Rolls Dough:
- 40g All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 scoop (15g) Vanilla Protein Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- ½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Orange Zest
- 1 teaspoon butter (7g)
Cinnamon Roll Filling:
- ½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
Orange Glaze:
- 2 tablespoon sugar-free syrup
- 50ml Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice
Instructions:
- Preheat an oven to 350F.
- Mix the dry cinnamon roll ingredients in a food processor or large bowl before adding the Greek yogurt, butter, and orange zest. Pulse 4-5 times or mix until a dough begins to form. (You want some dry ingredients remaining to avoid over mixing.)
- Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper sprayed with nonstick cooking spray and use your hands to form a ball of dough. (You can spray your hands with a tiny bit of cooking spray to prevent any sticking.)
- Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a large square
- Sprinkle remaining cinnamon. Spread it evenly across the dough before tightly rolling the dough. (Optional: reserve a small amount to brush on the outside of the rolled dough.)
- Tuck the ends in and use a knife to slice the roll into pieces.
- Lay the pieces flat on the cut side and bake for 18-22 minutes or until they’re cooked through in the center.
For the Orange Glaze:
- Mix the sugar-free syrup with orange juice and stir well. You can adjust the amounts used to fit your personal preference. After the cinnamon rolls have briefly cooled, add the glaze. Enjoy!
