Ingredients
Dough
- 1 scoop Vanilla Peanut Butter Swirl Pro JYM
- ¾ cup (90g) self-rising flour
- ¾ cup (180g) plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
PB Cinnamon Sugar Filling
- ½ tbsp (10g) cinnamon
- ¼ cup (32g) peanut flour* (mixed with ¼ cup water to make a peanut butter consistency)
- ¼ cup (50g) brown sugar substitute
PB Cream Cheese Protein Icing
- ½ scoop Vanilla Peanut Butter Swirl Pro JYM
- ½ brick (113g) reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup (56g) plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp (16g) peanut flour
- 1-2 tbsp milk**
- 2 tbsp (30g) powdered sugar substitute
*Can also use regular peanut butter here, but it will have higher fat and calories than peanut flour or peanut butter powder.
**May need more or less; just enough to get a good icing consistency.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- For the dough, add flour, Pro JYM (1 scoop), and Greek yogurt to a bowl. Mix together until combined. Add the dough to a floured surface and press or roll it into a rectangular shape, about ½ inch thick.
- For the cinnamon sugar filling, mix peanut flour with water until a peanut butter consistency forms. Mix peanut butter (peanut flour + water), brown sugar substitute, and cinnamon until smooth. Spread over the cinnamon roll dough.
- Roll dough into a log and cut into 7-8 equally sized rolls. Spray a pan or dish with nonstick spray, and place the rolls into the pan.
- Bake at 350F for 20 minutes or until the tops of the cinnamon rolls turn golden brown. Once baked, let cool slightly while you make the icing.
- For the icing, mix together cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and peanut butter (peanut flour + water). Add Pro JYM (1/2 scoop) and sweetener if desired.
- Top cinnamon rolls with icing, and enjoy!
