Instructions
- Prepare the Dough. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Add the applesauce, Greek yogurt, and egg, mixing until a dough forms. Gradually add milk until the dough is soft but not sticky.
- Roll and Fill. On a floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle. Mix the filling ingredients and spread them over the dough. Roll the dough tightly from the long end, and cut into 8-10 rolls.
- Bake. Place the rolls in a greased baking dish. Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Icing. While the rolls bake, mix the icing ingredients. Adjust the consistency with protein powder or yogurt as needed.
- Serve. Drizzle icing over warm cinnamon rolls and enjoy!
