Oh dear heaven, a low carb, high protein cinnamon roll?? Say it ain't so!

Bodybuilding.com - Ask The Protein Powder Chef: 'I Want Protein Cinnamon Rolls! Can It Be Done?'

I'm making them this weekend and will let you guys know how they turn out!
The whole website has some really yummy recipes .

That recipe is ridiculously easy.

Sorry ladies for the late response .

I AM MAKING THEM TOMORROW . I had a hard time finding some supplies...cuz' you know...I live in Siberia (AKA- Canada).

They look great though! I'm always trying to find ways to indulge in my sweet tooth...in a healthier way of course .

I read the title of the thread, then the forum... Really?? Need-to-know!

YUM love Cinnamon!

I just made them and they are pretty tasty . I'm not gonna lie, a REAL cinnamon bun loaded with sugar, butter, and gooey deliciousness is way better , but this is a perfectly acceptable alternative .

I had to make a few substitutions:

1) I could not find cinnamon protein power, so I just added cinnamon to vanilla whey.

2) I used almond flour instead of oat flour. Not for any particular reason, just because I had it handy in the house and wanted to use it .

All other ingredients were the same.

Enjoy!

Thanks!
I looked today for cinnamon protein power couldn't find it. Thanks for the tip!

Oh my these are tasty - I never thought of using those ingredients for a 'frosting' either

Hmmm... wonder if I can make sticky buns with this approach... I'll have to think on this...

Natasha et al - have you made this yet? It's incredible! I love that bodybuilding.com site! I used less than 1/4 tsp butter flavor extract and it's really good.

Elle,

No, I have not made that! Oh wow it looks very tasty indeed .

Butter flavored extract? I've never even heard of that. Can you get it at a health food store?
