Ingredients

Dough:

1 cup organic all purpose flour (or 1:1 gluten free flour)
1 cup yogurt (or thick dairy free yogurt)
2 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp coconut sugar

Filling:

1/3 cup coconut sugar
1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter
1 tbsp cinnamon

Frosting:

1/4 cup cream cheese (or dairy free cream cheese)
2 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F and lightly grease a round baking dish.
Make the dough. Mix together flour, baking powder, and coconut sugar.
Add in yogurt and mix again until a dough forms. It will be crumbly at first!
Place a sheet of parchment paper on the counter and sprinkle with a little bit of flour to prevent sticking.
Place dough onto parchment paper and sprinkle dough with more flour.
Roll the dough into a thin rectangle shape.
Make the filling. Mix together filling ingredients and pour onto dough. Let set for a couple of minutes.
Carefully roll the dough up, using the parchment paper to help.
Use dental floss, baker's twine, or carefully slice using a knife to slice the dough into 6 rolls.
Place all of the rolls into the greased round dish and bake 30-35min. Let cool for a couple of minutes.
Make frosting by mixing frosting ingredients until smooth.
Pour over cinnamon rolls, spread, and enjoy!
