Cinnamon rolls always make for a tasty breakfast treat, my two-ingredient dough cinnamon rolls are lightened up and still delicious!

If you have not tried the two-ingredient dough yet you really need to jump on the wagon! There are so many things you can make with this easy to make dough! I’ve been wanting to make cinnamon rolls with it for a while and I finally got around to it the other morning, these tasty baked treats were amazing and I might have eaten 3 in a row haha! They are so simple to make, take very little time, and just 2 points each on WW.

Cinnamon
Icing sugar *Confectionary sugar

How to make Two Ingredient Dough Cinnamon Rolls (step by step):

Preheat the oven to 375F, and line a baking sheet with some parchment paper. I also spray the paper lightly.
In a bowl mix the yogurt and flour together. If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can use all-purpose and add a little baking powder and salt to it.
Mix the dough until you can form a ball. It will be slightly sticky- sprinkle some flour on a flat surface and keep kneading the dough in some extra flour until it’s not sticky. Roll the dough out -mine was rolled out to approx 12″ by 10″
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the dough. Roll the dough up and cut into 2 equal pieces, then cut each piece into 6 giving you 12 rolls.
Place the cut pieces onto the baking sheet and bake them in the oven for 18 minutes or until they look golden brown on top.
In a small bowl, mix the icing sugar with a little milk and brush the glaze onto the warm cinnamon rolls. Makes 12 rolls. Enjoy!

TIPS TO MAKE TWO-INGREDIENT DOUGH

The dough should be tacky but not sticky, if you can’t knead the dough without it sticking to your hands then add a little more flour. I typically will add just a little more flour than yogurt when making the dough even though it calls for a 50/50 ratio.

You definitely need greek yogurt, regular yogurt won’t be thick enough and you won’t get the same results from it.

Be sure to flour your surface when rolling out the dough, and add a little flour to the rolling pin.

You can make this dough ahead of time and refrigerate it until you are ready to use it.

If you wish to replace the brown sugar with a sugar substitute such as a Splenda brown sugar or similar that will work fine. If you are doing so to save on WW points if you follow WW then be sure to build the recipe in your WW app to get the accurate point value.

When you are ready to cut the cinnamon rolls, cut in the middle first, this will help ensure even pieces.
