Cinnamon Rolls

The first time I tried cinnamon rolls they looked amazing, but didn’t taste amazing at all 😅.

The second time they looked and tasted pretty good..

This time, they turned out better.. 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 tbsp of agave or maple syrup

• 1-2 tbsp of cinnamon (depending on how cinnamony you like it)

• 1 tsp of vanilla powder (optional)

• Use melted butter or coconut oil to brush on the dough (before cutting into pieces)

For the icing:

• 200g of greek yogurt

• 1-2 tsp of honey, maple or agave syrup

• A few drops of lemon juice

• 1/2 tsp of vanilla powder

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C

2. Grease your dish with coconut oil/butter/olive oil

3. In a bowl mix together flour, salt, baking powder; then add in the yogurt and stir until it all comes together

4. Now knead the dough on a clean dusted surface for a couple of minutes

5. Roll out the dough into a rectangular shape

6. Mix together the agave syrup, cinnamon and vanilla, then spread the mix evenly

7. 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.

8. Bake for 20 minutes & prepare the icing in the meantime by whisking the yogurt with the honey, lemon and vanilla

9. Let cool a little before putting the icing on (or have it on the side)

10. Drizzle with agave/maple syrup (optional)
