- 1 tesked Bakpulver
- ¼ kopp Kokosnötsocker - (anteckning 5)
Fyllning
- 3 matskedar Mjölkfritt smör (osaltat)
- ½ kopp Kokosnötsocker
- 1 matsked Kanel
Glasyr
- ⅓ kopp Florsocker - (anteckning 6)
- 2 matskedar Växtbaserad yoghurt
Instruktioner
- Värm ugnen till 180 °C. Klä en ugnsform (23 cm) med bakplåtspapper. Smörj pappret lätt med matoljespray. Ställ åt sidan.
- In a small bowl, add the lukewarm almond milk (at about 98 °F or 37 °C), and sprinkle yeast on top. Stir with a wooden spoon, cover, and set aside for 10 minutes to activate the yeast.
- In a large mixing bowl add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, yogurt, melted butter, coconut sugar, and the activated yeast prepared before.
- Stir with a rubber spatula and, when it starts to look crumbly, lightly oil your hands and knead the dough to form a ball. If it is too wet, add a bit more flour. If it's too dry, add more yogurt. You can also prepare this cinnamon roll dough in a stand mixer using the dough hook attachment. Work at speed 3-4 until a dough ball forms.
- Lightly flour a work surface and place the dough on it. Sprinkle extra flour on top of the dough and roll into a 13-inch x 10-inch rectangle shape.
- Bred ut det mjuka smöret jämnt över rektangeln.
- In a small bowl, whisk cinnamon and coconut sugar. Sprinkle the mixture and press it evenly onto the buttered dough.
- Roll the dough from the long side to form a cylinder.
- Use a serrated knife or an unflavored dental floss string to cut 9 pieces from the cylinder.
- Placera varje rulle med virveln uppåt på den förberedda ugnsformen.
- Grädda rullarna i 25–30 minuter i 180 °C tills de är gyllenbruna på ovansidan.
- Let the rolls cool down at room temperature on a wire rack before icing.
- För att glasera, rör florsocker med mjölkfri yoghurt och lite mandelmjölk om det är för tjockt, och ringla över de avsvalnade kanelbullarna.

Why These Cinnamon Rolls Are Healthier
- Lägre i fett – Traditional recipes rely heavily on butter and eggs. This version uses high-protein dairy-free yogurt to reduce fat content while maintaining richness. It also makes the recipe vegan-friendly!
- Raffinerad sockerfri – Sweetened with kokosnötsocker or sugar-free options like erythritol, these rolls are kinder on blood sugar levels.
- Protein-packad – Each roll contains 5 gram protein, with potential to increase by substituting the filling butter with pulveriserat jordnötssmör.
- Snabb och enkel – En kombination av active dry yeast and baking powder reduces the rising time to just 30 minutes.
- Anpassningsbar sötma – You can make sugar-free icing and sugar-free filling for a low-calorie treat.
Ingredienser och ersättningar
Eight ingredients is all you need to make these rolls!

- Heltäckande mjöl – Flour is the main ingredient for the rolls. It can be swapped with white spelt flour or whole wheat flour for a nuttier taste, but avoid almond or oat flour as they don’t provide the right texture. For a gluten-free version, use my guide till glutenfri konvertering.
- Växtbaserad yoghurt – This adds moisture, binds the dough, and increases protein. Use almond, oat, or soy yogurt as alternatives.
- Mandelmjölk – Almond milk provides the liquid needed to form the dough. Any plant-based milk like soy or oat milk works just as well.
- Aktiv torkad jäst – It helps the rolls rise and gives them a soft, fluffy texture. Combined with baking powder for a quicker rise.
- Mejerifritt smör – Butter is used both in the dough and to make the filling. It Can be replaced with light olive oil or applesauce for an oil-free option.
- Bakpulver – Baking powder works alongside yeast to reduce the rise time and ensure the rolls are still fluffy.
- Kokosnötsocker – Coconut sugar sweetens the dough naturally and adds a mild caramel flavor. It can be replaced with sugar-free brown erythritol for a calorie-free option.
- Kanel – It adds the classic warm, spiced flavor to the filling. Essential for the signature cinnamon roll taste. You can’t really replace it with anything else (they wouldn’t be called cinnamon rolls if it was the case).
- Florsocker – This is used for the glaze. You can swap it with powdered erythritol or powdered allulose for a sugar-free version.
- Mörk chokladflis – You can add chocolate chips as an addition for extra sweetness in the filling or topping.
How to Make Healthy Cinnamon Rolls
These rolls are ever so slightly easier to make than the traditional recipe because the rising time is faster. Here are key steps in pictures.

Activate the yeast with warm (but not hot) water.

Combine the dough ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer.

Cinnamon roll dough combined into a sticky ball and let it rest for 10 minutes to rise.

Flatten the dough with a rolling pin until you have a large rectangle.

Spread your softened dairy-free butter on top of the dough.

Combine the cinnamon with coconut sugar and spread the mixture on the dough.

Roll the dough into a large cylinder, starting from the long side.

Use some unflavored dental floss or a very sharp knife to cut the dough into 9 rolls.

Place the rolls in a baking pan and bake them for 5-30 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C).

Let the rolls cool down completely before drizzling the icing on the top.
Carines baktips
While the recipe should be all you need, here are a few more tips to make the most perfect rolls.
- Warm the Milk Properly – Make sure the almond milk is lukewarm (around 98 °F/37 °C). Too hot can kill the yeast, and too cold won’t activate it.
- Don’t Skip Activating the Yeast – Letting the yeast sit with sugar and warm milk ensures it’s active and bubbly, which leads to fluffier rolls.
- Control Dough Stickiness – The dough should be slightly sticky but workable. Adjust with small amounts of flour or yogurt as needed. Avoid over-flouring, which can make the rolls dense.
- Roll Dough Evenly – Aim for a consistent thickness when rolling out the dough to ensure even baking. Use a ruler for accuracy if needed.
- Use Dental Floss for Cutting – For clean cuts that maintain the swirl, use unflavored dental floss instead of a knife to slice the rolls.
- Cool Before Icing – Let the rolls cool completely before applying the glaze to avoid it melting off.
- Lägg till en proteinboost – Replace the butter in the filling with powdered peanut butter for extra protein without adding fat.
- Experimentera med fyllningar – Add raisins, chopped nuts, or even a layer of thinly sliced apples for variety in the filling.
- Prevent Drying Out – Cover the rolls with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel during the short rise to retain moisture.
- Gör framåt – Prepare the rolls the night before, store them in the fridge, and bake fresh in the morning for a quick breakfast treat.

If you love cinnamon rolls as much as I do, you need to try these:






Step 2 says to put the milk, sugar, and yeast in a bowl to activate. Then, step 3 says to mix the dough ingredients and lists the sugar again, but I don’t see anywhere how it says to split the amount? Is it supposed to be in both steps? I only see in the dough portion of the ingredients one entry for sugar and it just says 1/4 cup coconut sugar. The note 5 simply tells me I can substitute other kinds of brown sugar. Help!
Sorry about this typo, the sugar is going in step 3. I corrected the instructions.

I know you mentioned that you can’t use almond or oat flour but what about coconut flour
Coconut flour is even worst as it contains 4 times more fibers than regular flour, you will end up with a crumbly batter that never firm up. Coconut flour requires eggs (I don’t bake with eggs) and a combination of other flours most of the time almond, tapioca starch etc.
Perfect taste and quite easy to make for cinnamon rolls!
Thank you, great recipe!!!
Nevermind that these are healthier than normal rolls, they’re just the best I’ve ever had!! My kids also loved them
