The yogurt dough behind the site's naan and bagels with a scoop of vanilla whey worked in, rolled out, filled with a sugar-free cinnamon swirl, and baked into proper cinnamon rolls. A cream cheese and vanilla whey glaze on top makes them taste like the bakery version.

No yeast, no proofing time. The Greek yogurt dough goes straight from mixing bowl to oven and still comes out soft.
