Copycat Classic Cinnamon Roll (Cinnabon’s style)

This is the kind of American snack you’ll make on repeat — self-rising flour and vanilla protein powder, 50 minutes, big payoff. It is weeknight cooking that still hits your targets — 24 grams of protein per serving. No specialty equipment and nothing hard to find at a regular grocery store.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups Self-rising flour
• 1/2 cup Vanilla protein powder
• 1 1/4 cups Plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• 1 Egg
• 2 tbsp Light butter, softened
• 1/4 cup Monk fruit brown sweetener
• 2 tbsp Ground cinnamon
• 4 oz Light cream cheese
• 1/3 cup Powdered monk fruit
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Steps

1. Heat the oven to 375°F and line an 8-inch round pan with parchment.
2. Mix the flour, protein powder, yogurt, and egg into a soft dough — it should feel tacky but release from your hands.
3. Roll the dough into a 12-by-9-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
4. Spread with the softened butter, then blanket it edge to edge with the brown sweetener and cinnamon; bare spots are where the roll turns bland.
5. Roll up tightly from the long side and slice into 4 rolls with unflavored dental floss for clean, unsquashed spirals.
6. Bake 18 to 20 minutes until puffed and lightly golden on top.
7. Beat the cream cheese, powdered monk fruit, and vanilla until silky and frost the rolls while warm so it melts into every layer.
