Ingredients
For the dough
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup white whole wheat flour
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the filling
- 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
- 3 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
For the Glaze
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp milk
- Additional powdered sugar, if desired for a thicker glaze
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or 8-9-inch round cake pan, or line with parchment paper.In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, ground flaxseed, and baking powder.Add the cottage cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until a dough begins to form.Using lightly floured hands, bring the dough together into a ball. If it feels too sticky, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time until manageable.Transfer the dough to a well-floured surface and roll into a rectangle approximately 10×12 inches.In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon.Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.Starting from the long side, carefully roll the dough into a log. The dough will be slightly sticky, so use a bench scraper or butter knife if needed to help lift and roll.Slice into 6 large cinnamon rolls and place them evenly in the prepared baking dish.Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.Allow the rolls to cool for at least 10 minutes.While the rolls cool, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Add more powdered sugar if you prefer a thicker glaze.Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls and serve.HAPPY EATING!!
