Cottage Cheese Cinnamon Rolls

• servings: 10

Ingredients

Dough

1 1/4 cup cottage cheese (whole milk, high-quality)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 Tablespoons maple syrup

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Filling

1 Tablespoon coconut oil (melted, or butter)

1/4 cup brown sugar

2-3 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Glaze

3 Tablespoons powdered sugar

2 Tablespoons blended cottage cheese mixture (from above)

Directions

Blend the cottage cheese, vanilla, and maple syrup until smooth.

Set aside 2 Tablespoons of the blended mixture to make the glaze later. Cover and refrigerate.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and grease a round 8-inch pan.

Mix the flour, baking powder, and blended cottage cheese mixture just until combined.

Form the dough into a ball.

Roll out the dough into a 1/4" thick 9×13" rectangle on a lightly floured surface.

Brush the melted coconut oil or butter over the top of the dough.

Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon, evenly distributing it on top.

From one end of dough, slowly roll it up until all the dough is used into a log. Using a sharp knife, slice into 10 even cinnamon rolls.

Add each cinnamon roll dough to the pan.

Bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden.

Let cool for 5 minutes.

Whisk the glaze together and spread over the cinnamon rolls. Enjoy!
