Healthy Single Serve Cinnamon Roll

Craving cinnamon rolls but you don’t want to bake a whole batch? This healthy single serve cinnamon roll with Greek yogurt is all you need.
Prep Time10 minutes
Course: Dessert
Servings: 1 servings

Ingredients

Cinnamon Roll Dough

  • 40 grams (1/3 cup) self-rising flour (for replacements see notes*)
  • 30 grams (2 tbsp) Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup

Cinnamon Roll Filling

  • melted coconut oil (to brush)
  • 1 tsp granulated sweetener (erythritol, or coconut sugar)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180ºC (350ºF).
  • Prepare the filling. In a small bowl whisk together granulated sweetener and ground cinnamon. Set aside for later.
  • In a bowl, stir together self-rising flour (or all purposes flour plus 1/2 tsp baking powder), Greek yogurt and maple syrup. Using your hands, knead the dough for a couple of minutes until it is soft (adjust with more flour if the dough is too sticky or with more Greek yogurt if it is too dry).
  • Roll the dough into a rectangle, brush with melted coconut oil (or preferred oil) and sprinkle the top with the cinnamon “sugar” filling. Finally, cut the rectangle into 2 stripes (you can either form 2 separate buns or combine them to make a single serve cinnamon roll).
  • Roll the healthy single serve cinnamon roll, pressing tight so that it doesn’t fall apart. After rolling, place the cinnamon bun in a slightly greased greased ramekin or oven-safe bowl.
  • Bake in hot oven for 10 to 15 minutes. When baked, let the cinnamon roll cool at room temperature for at least 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Replace self raising flour with all-purposes flour plus 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder.
