Ingredients

Dough

• ¼ cup almond flour

• 1 tbsp protein powder (or sub 1 tbsp more almond flour)

• 1 tsp coconut flour

• ⅛ tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp allulose (or preferred sweetener)

• ⅛ tsp cinnamon

• Pinch sea salt

• 2 tbsp thick plain dairy-free Greek-style yogurt (or regular Greek yogurt if not DF/V)

Filling

• 1 tsp almond butter or softened coconut oil

• ½ tsp cinnamon

• 1 tsp allulose (or preferred sweetener)

Icing / Drizzle

• 1 tbsp thick plain dairy-free Greek-style yogurt (or regular if preferred)

• 1 tsp powdered or liquid sweetener (avoid granulated to prevent grit)

• ⅛ tsp vanilla

• Tiny pinch sea salt

• (Optional) A splash of plant milk to thin for drizzling

Instructions

1. Preheat oven (or toaster oven) to 350°F (175°C). Line a small baking sheet or ramekin with parchment.

2. Make the dough: Mix almond flour, protein powder, coconut flour, baking powder, allulose, cinnamon, and salt. Add yogurt and stir to form a soft dough.

3. Rest 5 minutes to allow flours to hydrate—this prevents sticking.

4. Roll dough between two pieces of parchment into a 4×6-inch rectangle, about ¼ inch thick.

5. Add filling: Spread almond butter or coconut oil evenly; sprinkle cinnamon and sweetener.

6. Roll tightly from the short end. Slice into two pieces if making minis, and place on the prepared sheet/ramekin.

7. Bake 18–20 minutes until lightly golden and set.

8. Cool for 5 minutes. Whisk icing ingredients, drizzle over the warm roll, and enjoy!
