Greek Yoghurt Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon rolls are a Norwegian classic, but traditional versions are high fat and sugar, making them more suited as a rare treat than a regular occurrence. Made with Greek yoghurt and a quick, no-yeast dough, these greek yoghurt cinnamon rolls are a much light version, they’re soft, fluffy, and ready in under an hour. A modest swirl of cinnamon and brown sugar makes them perfectly sweet whilst keeping the sugar content moderate – these are a version you can enjoy more often!

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, salt, and caster sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg with the Greek yoghurt. Mix wet into dry until a soft dough forms.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a rectangle, approx. 25x20cm.
4. Spread melted butter over the dough, then sprinkle evenly with cinnamon and brown sugar.
5. Roll the dough tightly from the long edge, then cut into 8 equal rolls. Place rolls on the baking tray, cut-side up.
6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Mix cream cheese and honey with 1 tbsp of water to thin, then drizzle it over warm rolls.
