Ingredients for #comment 4557

Gather these items:

1 ½ cup (190 g) all purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
½ cup (50 g) protein powder (or more flour)
3 tbsp granulated sweetener (I used monk fruit)
1 ½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 cup (240 g) Greek yogurt (minimum 2% fat recommended)
2 tbsp melted coconut oil (replace with melted butter/nut butter)
3 tbsp granulated sweetener (I used monk fruit)
2 tsp ground cinnamon
⅓ cup (80 g) Greek yogurt (minimum 2% fat recommended)
1 scoop protein powder (vanilla)
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 to 2 tsp milk (if necessary)
1-2 tbsp granular sweetener (optional if protein powder is unflavored)

How to Make #comment 4557 Step-by-Step

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a baking dish by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with oil.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the granulated sweetener and cinnamon. Set aside for later.
Step 3: In a large bowl, combine the flour, protein powder (or more flour), baking powder, sweetener, and salt.
Step 4: Add Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Use your hands to knead the dough for about 2 minutes, until smooth. Adjust the dough as necessary to avoid stickiness.
Step 5: On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a large rectangle, about ¼-inch thick.
Step 6: Brush the rolled-out dough with melted coconut oil (or butter/nut butter).
Step 7: Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sweetener mixture over the surface of the dough.
Step 8: Cut the dough into strips about 1 to 1 ½ inches wide and tightly roll each strip into a spiral.
Step 9: Place each roll into the prepared baking dish with the spiral side facing up. Leave space between each as they will expand during baking.
Step 10: Bake the rolls for 20 minutes, or until golden on top. Let them cool in the baking dish for at least 5 minutes before adding frosting.
Step 11: In a bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, protein powder, and vanilla extract. If the frosting is too thick, thin it with 1-2 teaspoons of milk.
Step 12: Drizzle or spread the frosting over the cinnamon rolls just before serving.
