Easy Cinnamon Rolls – NO YEAST! The Best Recipe for Cinnamon Rolls
The dough of these Easy Cinnamon Rolls is made with just 2 ingredients (yes, you read that right!) and then topped with a low sugar cream cheese frosting.
Ingredients
- 280 g 2 cups self-raising flour
- 450 g 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 4 tbsp butter softened
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 125 g 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 tbsp icing sugar
- Zest and Juice clementine
Method
- Preheat oven 180ºC/350ºF.
- Add the flour and Greek yogurt to a mixing bowl and stir until it forms a dough. If too wet, add a little extra flour just one tablespoon at a time. Empty onto a lightly floured work surface and knead gently. Roll into a rectangle roughly measuring 32 x 20cm.
- Mix together the butter, cinnamon and maple syrup. If the butter is not soft enough, heat gently so it forms a paste, then spread it over the pastry. Tightly roll up the pastry from the 20cm side to form a log. Using a bread knife, cut into 14 even pieces, then place into a pie dish.
- Brush with a little egg or milk wash, then bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown then cool fully before frosting.
- To make the frosting, mix together the mascarpone, icing sugar and clementine zest and juice, then spread over the top of the rolls and eat!
