Now that I’m obsessed with the two-ingredient dough (as is the rest of the internet) here it is again, done up, and sweetened, and BOOM. The easiest cinnamon rolls you’ll ever make.
And they give you those yeasted dough vibes thanks to the sourness of the yog. Win x2.
Brunch is made. Triple if feeding a crowd. If the tripled dough breaks apart on you in the rolling process, roll it out thrice.
You know what I mean. I’m about 97% sure you do. And yeah, I’m lazy. I’m a chef (sort of) not a writer. Eek.
Let me know if you make!!
Two-ingredient Dough Cinnamon Rolls
Servings: 6 mini rolls
Calories: 95kcal
Equipment
- Baking/muffin pan
Ingredients
Dough ingredients
- 1/2 cup flour (60 g) gf all purpose if desired
- 1 tbsp sugar (12 g)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup thick greek style yogurt (112 g) df alternative if desired
Filling
- 2 tbsp nut/seed butter (32 g)
- 1 tbsp brown/coconut sugar (12 g)
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking dish with parchment (or use muffin pan).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar and pinch of salt. Add yogurt gradually to combine into a soft dough (I add 3/4 of it at first) stopping when the dough comes together.
- Knead a few times on a floured surface and roll out into a rectangle.
- Smear nut butter, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
- Roll it up along the long side and slice (will make 6 mini rolls, or 2-3 regular sized if you roll along the short side). Here's a video if you need (I use a knife, not a dental floss, LOL).
- Place sideways on the baking dish and bake 15-20 minutes until lightly browned.
- Let rolls cool and smear icing (2 tbsp powdered sugar + 2 tsp maple syrup works great for this small batch).
- Serve immediately and enjoy!

Made these cinnamon rolls with my 3 year old this morning and they are delicious! We used peanut butter and the flavor was great. He loved the maple icing (huge surprise lol).
