There is nothing tastier than pillowy soft, gooey-in-the-middle, cream cheese covered frosting cinnamon roll.
However, no matter how delicious they are, they are not the healthiest option. But, don’t lose hope just yet. We have the solution: a high-protein, low-carb homemade alternative that tastes just as good!
Yep, you heard it right. These high-protein, low-carb twist gives you all the flavor without the guilt.
Ingredients you will need:
1/2 tbsp Cinnamon 10g Coconut flour
5 Egg Whites 30g Whey protein – vanilla flavor
10g Apple Fiber
1 Teaspoon Stevia based sweetener
Ingredients for the frosting:
2 egg whites
1/4 cup Non-fat Greek Yogurt
2 Teaspoons of Stevia based sugar
1 Tbsp Cinnamon
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
How to prepare the dough:
Coat a rectangle pan with non-stick spray or a little butter. Mix the ingredients together, then spread them out in the pan to form a long rectangle. Bake for about 15 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 178 degrees Celsius), or until fully cooked.
How to prepare the frosting:
Beat the egg whites until fluffy, then gently fold them into the Greek Yogurt. Then add the remaining ingredients and whip well again. After the roll is baked, carefully roll it up and spread the frosting on top. You can even sprinkle some dark chocolate over it, or maybe some grind almonds or walnuts.
