After going to Canada a few years ago, I fell in love with the “Cinnabon” buns! I have been meaning to recreate them at home but know that if I do, I will feel extremely guilty knowing I can make and eat as many as I would like to!
So yours truly, has come up with a very healthy version in comparison to the delightful cinnamon roll covered in sweet cinnamon cream cheese glaze and buttery cakey bread. It’s a bit light on the sugar it has no fat in it whatsoever but still satisfies and is a delightful treat!
INGREDIENTS
250g self raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
100g sugar
1 free range egg
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
⅓ cup natural yoghurt
Glaze & topping
2 tbsp caster sugar
3 tsp cinnamon powder
½ tbsp cocoa powder
2/3 tbsp water to combine
METHOD
• Preheat oven to 180°c. Grease and line a loaf tin
• Mix all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl or a food processor
• Whisk all the wet ingredients together and pour into the flour mix
• Whizz or stir until the dough comes together. It will be quite a wet and sticky dough. Empty out into the loaf tin
• For the cinnamon topping, put all the ingredients in a saucepan or bowl and whisk to combine
• Take a few teaspoons of this mixture and carefully place on top of the dough in different places
• Using a knife or skewer swirl the cinnamon glaze into the dough
• Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean when poked
• Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, remove and cool on a rack
• Once completely cool, use the same glaze from before and drizzle over the loaf
• Make yourself a cup of tea and grab a slice! You deserve it!
