Do you love a good cinnamon roll? They especially delicious when they are warm and gooey! Try these protein packed cinnamon rolls instead of the store bought, highly processed ones.
Ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup vanilla protein powder (I used French vanilla by Legion. I have a discount code too! It’s juliej)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup coconut sugar
3/4 cup dairy free milk
3 tbsp butter
2 1/4 tsp yeast
1 egg
Filling ingredients:
1 tbsp softened butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl. Warm milk and butter over low heat on the stove. Don’t allow it to boil. Once the butter is melted, add the egg and whisk. Remove from stove and add yeast. Add the wet mixture to the bowl of dry ingredients and mix well.
Lightly flour the counter and knead the dough. Let the dough rest for 5-10 minutes. Once the dough has rested, roll it out flat. Add 1 tbsp softened butter on top and the sprinkle cinnamon and brown sugar on top. Roll into a log shape and cut into neat rolls. Place in a pan (I used a stone pan), cover with a towel and let rise for 1 hour.
Heat oven to 350 and cook rolls for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
