Ingredients
Dough
1 1/4 cups (150g) self-raising flour
1 1/2 scoops (50g) Grow by Steve Vanilla whey protein isolate (10% off with code: SCROLLS10)
1 tbsp cinnamon
2 1/2 tbsp sweetener (sweetness should match sugar by volume)
2/3 cup (150g) plain (or vanilla) skyr (icelandic style yogurt). Can be replaced with Greek Yoghurt
1/4 cup (56g) melted butter
Filling
1 tbsp. ground cinnamon
3 tbsp. sweetener of choice
2 tbsp. light butter, melted
Icing
2 tbsp. cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup (56g) plain (or vanilla) skyr
3 tbsp. Sweetener of choice (36g)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Mix the dry ingredients for the dough in a large bowl.
- Add the skyr and butter.
- Work mixture into a dough. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
- Tip: You can increase the amount of whey protein powder by adding 10 to 30 grams of whey protein at a time along with an equal amount of water. Add slowly and be careful not to overwhelm the mixture — you can always add more whey protein but you cannot take the excess whey protein out.
- Place the dough on a length of wax paper or other large, flat, non-stick surface and flatten the dough with a rolling pin until it is roughly a 30 x 20 cm rectangle.
- Mix 1 tbsp cinnamon with 3 tbsp of sweetener.
- Brush the dough with melted butter. Sprinkle evenly with cinnamon & sweetener mix.
- Roll the dough lengthwise. Cut into 4 equal parts to separate into the 4 scrolls.
- Place cinnamon rolls in a small, round baking dish lined with a non-stick spray. Bake for half an hour at 180°C.
- While the scrolls are baking, mix the icing ingredients in a small bowl.
- Once the cinnamon scrolls are baked, drizzle the icing over the top while they are still warm.
- Enjoy your delicious cinnamon scrolls, enhanced with Grow by Steve whey protein powder!
