The last time I tried cinnamon rolls they looked amazing, but didn’t taste amazing at all 😅.
This time they look and taste great, so if you want to give them a try, here’s what you need:
For the dough:
1 cup of greek yogurt
1 1/2 cups of spelt flour & more for dusting (you can also use white all-purpose flour)
2 tsp of baking powder
1/2 tsp of salt
For the filling:
3-5 dates (soak for 10 minutes)
1 tbsp of coconut oil
1 heaped tbsp of cinnamon
1 tsp of vanilla powder
Use melted butter or coconut oil to brush on the dough before adding the toppings, and after rolling the dough (before cutting into pieces)
For the icing:
200g of greek yogurt
1-2 tsp of honey
A few drops of lemon juice
1/2 tsp of vanilla powder
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C
Soak the dates in hot/boiling water
Grease your dish with coconut oil/butter/olive oil
In a bowl mix together flour, salt, baking powder; then add in the yogurt and stir until it all comes together
Now knead the dough on a clean dusted surface for a couple of minutes
Roll out the dough into a rectangular shape and brush the butter or coconut oil on.
Blend dates with 1-2 tbsp of date water and coconut oil, then spread on the dough
Now sprinkle the cinnamon-vanilla mix & spread evenly
Roll the dough from the long side into a long roll, then brush with butter or coconut oil and cut into 3-4cm bits & put in the greased dish.
Bake for 20 minutes & prepare the icing in the meantime by whisking the yogurt with the honey, lemon and vanilla
Let cool a little before putting the icing on
ENJOY
