I was experimenting and was very happy with how yummy these came out. The dough is simple to make with self-raising flour, Greek yogurt, and a touch of maple syrup or honey. The center is filled with cinnamon and sweetener, and the frosting can be customized with vanilla protein powder or powdered sugar. These rolls are baked in a ramekin for a quick and satisfying treat.

Add the self raising flour, plain Greek yoghurt, and maple syrup together in a bowl and form into a ball. It will seem really dry but keep kneading until it comes together.
Roll the dough into a long oval shape using a rolling pin or glass.
Spread the butter over the surface of the dough.
Sprinkle the cinnamon and granulated sweetener evenly over the buttered dough.
From one end, tightly roll the dough into a log shape.
Use a knife to cut the rolled dough in half.
Place the dough halves in a small greased ramekin.
Bake in a preheated oven at 200° for 10-15 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Let the cinnamon rolls cool slightly, then remove them from the ramekin.
Mix the vanilla protein powder with water to create a frosting and drizzle it over the rolls before serving.

To make this recipe vegan, swap the Greek yoghurt for a plant-based alternative, the butter for a vegan butter, and use maple syrup instead of honey.
If you don’t have vanilla protein powder, you can use powdered sugar for the frosting instead.
Knead the dough thoroughly even if it feels dry at first; it will come together with persistence.
Can I use plain flour instead of self raising flour?
No, it’s important to use self raising flour in this recipe to ensure the dough rises properly.
What can I use instead of Greek yoghurt?
You can use a plant-based yoghurt or any thick yoghurt as a substitute.
How do I know when the cinnamon rolls are done baking?
The rolls should be golden on top and cooked through in the center. You can check by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
Can I make these ahead of time?
These are best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare the dough and filling in advance, then assemble and bake when ready.
What size ramekin should I use?
A small ramekin that fits the two dough halves snugly is ideal for this recipe.
