Protein Cinnamon Buns

Who doesn't love warm crunchy cinnamon buns drizzled with sweet icing?! Here's your guilt free, protein packed version.....you're welcome :)




Protein Cinnamon Buns

Protein crepe for the "dough":
1 packet of Tone It Up Perfect Fit protein powder (or 2 tbsp of whichever protein powder you have or flour)
2 egg whites 
1/2 tsp of cinnamon
Dash of salt
About 1.5-2 Tbsp of almond milk (to loosen up the batter)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Combine ingredients in a small bowl and mix well (should be a thinner consistency than pancake batter). Pour into a heated/oiled non stick (10in.) pan over med-high heat & swirl around to spread thin and coat the entire pan. Cook until golden brown on each side (not too much or you won't be able to roll it!) Place aside, let cool a bit. 

Prepare your cinnamon roll filling:
2 Tbsp of organic Ghee - melted (or butter, or coconut oil)
1 tsp of cinnamon 

Spread your filling onto the center of your cooked crepe and roll it up! Then use a knife to cut into 1-2 inch slices to make your cinnamon buns. Place onto a cookie sheet and place in the oven for 5-10 min until crispy.

Meanwhile, make your icing. 
2 Tbsp of goat cheese 
1 Tbsp of organic pure maple syrup

Melt the goat cheese in the microwave for about 10 secs then mix with maple syrup until an icing type texture.

Once your cinnamon buns are nice and toasty out of the oven, drizzle your icing over them, and top with some more cinnamon and enjoy!
