Greek Yogurt Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients

• 1¾ cups white whole wheat flour (or spelt flour for a lighter texture)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1⅓ cups plain Greek yogurt
• ⅓ cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons melted butter (or coconut oil)
• 1½ tablespoons ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
• 2–3 teaspoons honey or maple syrup
• Splash of milk (milk of choice) to thin

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
2. Make Dough: In a large bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Stir in Greek yogurt until a soft dough forms. If too sticky, dust lightly with extra flour.
3. Shape: Roll or press dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle (~9×7 inches).
4. Add Filling: In a small bowl, mix coconut sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Spread evenly over dough.
5. Roll & Slice: Roll tightly from the short edge, pinch seam closed, and slice into 5–6 pieces.
6. Optional Chill: Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes for easier slicing and a better bake.
7. Bake: Arrange rolls in the baking dish and bake for 25–30 minutes until golden.
8. Honey-Cream Cheese Drizzle (Optional): Mix cream cheese with honey or maple syrup and just enough milk to make it pourable. Drizzle over warm rolls.
