High protein cinnamon rolls 🥰

These cinnamon rolls are soft, cozy, and packed with protein — with no sweeteners and no weird substitutions. I used real sugar (always do!) and cottage cheese in the dough. I know cottage cheese is everywhere right now, but trust me — it works here.

Family-approved and macro-friendly 💪

🍽️ Ingredients (10 rolls):

Dough:

• 230g cottage cheese

• 50g skyr or Greek yogurt

• 185g all-purpose flour

• 6g baking powder

• ½ tsp salt

Filling:

• 30g butter

• 30g sugar

• 1 tsp cinnamon

Glaze:

• 40g powdered sugar

• 2 tsp milk

👩‍🍳 Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C

2. Blend cottage cheese + yogurt until smooth

3. Mix with flour, baking powder & salt

4. Knead, form ball, roll into rectangle

5. Mix and spread filling

6. Roll up, slice into 10

7. Bake ~30 min

8. Drizzle glaze on top
