Oh yah, and these cinnamon rolls? They’re 5 points apiece which is what I normally try and eat around breakfast time. Have some fruit with them. The pomegranates were just for decorations since there were some leftovers from my salad. You can leave those out.
Ingredients Needed
- Self-rising flour -is a type of flour that already contains baking powder and salt, which are essential ingredients in many baked goods.
- Plain fat free Greek Yogurt – is considered great for a variety of reasons. It is typically higher in protein and lower in sugar than regular yogurt, making it a good choice for those looking to maintain a balanced diet.
- Vanilla, divided – It is made by macerating and soaking vanilla beans in a mixture of water and Vodka. Use a good pure vanilla instead of the imitation vanilla extract.
- Eggs – The best type of eggs you can buy at the store are organic or free-range eggs, while others may prefer eggs from specific breeds of chickens
- Butter Spray (20 sprays) – I like to use I Can’t Believe it’s Not Butter Spray
- Brown sugar – Is made by combining granulated white sugar with molasses, which gives it a brown color and a slightly different taste than regular white sugar.
- Cinnamon – is a spice that comes from the inner bark of several trees from the genus Cinnamomum.
- Cooking spray
- Powdered sugar, divided – for icing
How to Make 2 Ingredient Dough Cinnamon Rolls
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F.
Step 2: Mix flour and Greek yogurt together in a medium bowl until a shaggy dough forms. Transfer to a surface dusted with more self-rising flour, and knead for 8 to 10 minutes. Continue adding flour as needed if the dough is too sticky.
3. Place a large piece of parchment paper on a work surface and sprinkle with a little flour. Place dough on parchment paper. Sprinkle extra flour and roll out the dough with a rolling pin to form a large 10×12-inch rectangle.
4. Spritz the dough evenly with Butter Spray.
5. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon, all the way to the edges. Starting with a long edge, roll up dough tightly (use parchment paper to help roll up the dough) to form a 12-inch-long roll.
6. Cut roll into 12 (1-inch) slices. Arrange dough slices in an 11 x 7–inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake until lightly browned, 22 to 25 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before topping with glaze.
7. Combine remaining ½ cup powdered sugar, remaining 2 tablespoon yogurt, and remaining ¼ teaspoon vanilla, stirring until smooth. Drizzle glaze over cinnamon rolls. Serve warm.
8. Serving size: 1 cinnamon roll, 5 points

Greek Yogurt with self-rising flour can be really tricky to work with. If the dough is sticky add some more flour to the surface or rolling pin.
