Make gooey and warm, high protein baking cinnamon rolls using oat flour and cottage cheese in the dough for a better-for-you Monday morning treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 cup non-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup zero-calorie sweetener (granular)
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Filling:
  • 1/4 cup zero-calorie sweetener (granular)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter or coconut oil
  • For the Glaze:
  • 1/2 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons powdered zero-calorie sweetener
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the dough: In a food processor, combine the oat flour, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, egg white, baking powder, and salt. Process until a soft dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface (use a little extra oat flour). Knead briefly until smooth.
  4. Roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 8×10 inches.
  5. Prepare the filling: In a small bowl, mix the 1/4 cup sweetener and cinnamon. Brush the melted butter or coconut oil over the dough surface. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the dough.
  6. Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into 4 equal rolls.
  7. Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  8. Prepare the glaze: While the rolls cool slightly, whisk together the Greek yogurt, powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  9. Drizzle the glaze over the warm protein cinnamon rolls before serving.

Notes

  • For a lower calorie count, use a sugar-free glaze.
  • You can use regular all-purpose flour if oat flour is unavailable, but the texture will change.
  • This recipe makes a small batch, perfect for a few servings.
