INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour (60g)
1/2 teaspoon Active Dry Yeast (1.5g)
1/8 cup Warm Water (30g)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (60g) for dough
4 Egg Whites (120g)
2 teaspoons Honey (10g)
1 tablespoon Unsweetened Applesauce (15g)
1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (1.5g)
2 tablespoons Nonfat Greek Yogurt (30g) for glaze
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and active dry yeast.
Mix in the warm water, nonfat Greek yogurt, egg whites, and honey until a smooth dough forms. Knead lightly until the dough comes together; if necessary, let it rest for 10 minutes to activate the yeast.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a thin rectangle.
Spread the unsweetened applesauce evenly over the dough and sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
Roll up the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into even pieces, aiming for 2-3 rolls depending on desired thickness.
Place the cinnamon roll slices on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and allow them to rest for 10 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes until soft and lightly golden.
While baking, prepare the glaze by lightly whisking the additional nonfat Greek yogurt.
Once baked, drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls. Enjoy your soft and protein-boosted whole wheat cinnamon roll!
