Transcripts
one single Cinnabon cinnamon roll is 880
calories and 12 g of protein that is
pish posh instead you could eat four of
these homemade protein cinnamon rolls
and you would get in less calories and
five times as much protein these are
soft these are fluffy they're coated in
sweet icing and they are absolutely
addicting this is going to be your new
favorite way to get in protein cinnamon
rolls are incredibly high calorie
especially cinnamon cinnamon doesn't
care about your calories or macros but I
do I'm going to show you in this video
how to make high protein low calorie
cinnamon rolls the macros and calories
on the cinnamon rolls are so good we
start by making the dough and only
requires two ingredients we start by
adding regular ass flour to a bowl 1 and
3/4 cup or exactly 210 G this is
actually self-rising flour but if you
don't have self-rising flour use regular
flour it adds some baking powder to it
and it's essentially the same thing
remember if you're using regular flour
baking powder not baking soda baking
powder reacts with heat so when we bake
the cinnamon rolls then the bubbles are
going to form it's going to get nice and
fluffy baking soda needs an acid to get
things to rise and be fluffy to your
flour add in 1 cup or 225 g of non-fat
plain Greek yogurt traditional cinnamon
rolls are made with butter flour eggs
yeast it's just High effort and high
calorie that's pish posh this is low
effort and it's low calorie it's just
Greek yogurt and flour and you mix it
together in half of the ingredients
Greek yogurt is one of the best protein
sources out there mix together your
flour and Greek yogurt it's going to
take some time to mix you got to be
patient and you got to mix it for a
while it's going to look too dry it's
going to look like you need to add more
Greek yogurt but don't because and then
it's going to be a batter and we don't
want a batter you want a dough it needs
time just keep mixing and eventually
it's going to come together like this
take it and fold it on top of each other
you just grab the dough fold push
stretch fold push do this for another 3
to 5 minutes we're going to let this
dough sit for 5 minutes before we
stretch it out so the flour can hydrate
and absorb more moisture make the
filling except it's going to be a
fraction of the calories of regular
cinnamon rolls cuz it's going to be
super low sugar and super low fat we're
going to start by adding ariol my
absolute favorite sweetener into a bowl
we're going to need 1/4 cup of this or
exactly 48 G I never have brown sugar on
hand instead I have white sugar
sugar-free sugar and molasses anytime a
recipe needs brown sugar I just add a
little bit of molasses to the white
sugar before you mix this up there's one
ingredient we have to add to it that is
light butter when you go to the grocery
store there are a ton of Butters
available regular butter is 110 calories
per tablespoon light butter only 35
calories per tablespoon I'm using
Imperial Butter if you go to the grocery
store there are two kinds of Imperial
Butters one is 70 calories per
tablespoon and one is 35 calories per
tablespoon that's because the one that's
70 calories per tablespoon has more
vegetable oil than this one be careful
read the nutrition labels add in 2 tblsp
or 20 G of light butter into a bowl and
pop it into your microwave for 20 to 30
seconds until it is completely melted
and liquidy add in your melted butter
into your brown sugar mixture and mix
everything together until oh no we
forgot an ingredient cinnamon cinnamon
is essential to this recipe I can't
believe we almost forgot the name of the
thing in the title add 1 tbsp of
cinnamon into this I'm not using a
measuring cup it's around 10 spanks of
cinnamon add it in and mix this all
together until it forms a nice filling
Now set your filling aside it's time to
roll out the dough I'm using an oil can
cuz I don't have a rolling pin but use
whatever you you got use a whipped cream
bottle use this use a mason jar use a
watermelon for all I care just roll out
the dough remember every time you roll
flip it so it doesn't stick to the
silicone mat even though nothing sticks
to the silicone mat it's just safer to
roll and then flip and then roll again
and remember to also roll this way it's
not just about length it's about girth
as well keep flipping rolling flipping
rolling flipping rolling until you've
rolled out the dough into a nice long
rectangle this entire dough rolled out
is around 13 in x 9 in I use this
silicone mat to measure something else
and it was nowhere near 13 in this is
not a perfect rectangle but that's okay
it's going to be fine add in all your
filling and spread it evenly across this
entire dough this filling EDG to Edge
Baby smells beautiful it's cinnamony
it's buttery it's sugary the Molasses
gives it a nice nutty smell and taste
it's fantastic then cut this into six
cinnamon rolls six long strips actually
five strips not six cuts and then you
roll each one into a cinnamon roll check
out my fat loss cookbook over 100
recipes and I'm constantly updating it
and when you buy it once you get all
future updates for free I lost over 100

the oven and bake for around 20 minutes
until it is golden brown and completely
cooked your house will smell so freaking
good you'll know they're done while the
cinnamon rolls are baking let's make a
frosting it's going to be super quick
and super easy two ingredients just like
the dough the first ingredient is going
to be some protein powder you want to
use a vanilla protein powder because
cinnamon rolls have a vanilla icing and
we don't need to use vanilla extract
when you're using a vanilla based
protein powder use a protein powder that
you really really like the taste of cuz
if you don't everything goes to I'm
using legion's protein powder because
the texture is super fine so makes the
icing really really smooth also French
vanilla is a fantastic flavor use code
Raul if you want to support the channel
or buy anything from Legion Link in
description down below this icing is
going to be two scoops or 60 g of
protein powder and then almond milk just
enough to get a thick icing consistency
add a little bit at a time mix then add
a little bit more mix if you add too
much album milk you get a protein shake
you can't do with that and mix
