Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (245 grams) fat-free plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 large egg white
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • ⅓ cup (70 grams) brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: ½ cup (60 grams) powdered sugar and 1-2 tablespoons almond milk for glaze

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups (315 grams) all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt until evenly combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, stir 1 cup (245 grams) fat-free plain Greek yogurt, 1 large egg white, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix and stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough just comes together. If too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour carefully.
  5. Lightly flour a clean surface and rolling pin. Roll the dough into a 12×8 inch (30×20 cm) rectangle about ¼ inch (6 mm) thick.
  6. Mix 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon and ⅓ cup (70 grams) brown sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the rolled dough.
  7. Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log into 9 even slices (about 1 inch or 2.5 cm thick) using a sharp knife or dental floss.
  8. Arrange the slices cut-side up in a greased or parchment-lined 9×9 inch (23×23 cm) baking dish, leaving space between each.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Rolls should spring back when lightly pressed.
  10. Optional: While baking, whisk ½ cup (60 grams) powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons almond milk until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls after baking.
  11. Let rolls cool slightly for 5-10 minutes before serving. Best enjoyed warm.

Notes

Do not overmix the dough to keep rolls fluffy. Keep dough slightly sticky for softness. Use dental floss to cut rolls for clean edges. Tent with foil if rolls brown too quickly. Room temperature ingredients help dough come together smoothly. Dough can be prepared ahead and refrigerated overnight before baking.
