Ingredients

1.75 cup all-purpose flour plus more for work surface
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 Tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 Tbsp butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp cinnamon
3 Tbsp powdered sugar
3 Tbsp plain Greek yogurt

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, toss together the flour and baking powder.
1.75 cup all-purpose flour, 1 Tbsp baking powder
Mix in the yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla until just combined.
1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 Tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp vanilla extract
Knead with your hands to form the dough into a ball.
Because the dough is quite moist, generously flour your work. Roll the dough into a 9x13" rectangle. Brush with butter and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar on top.
1 Tbsp butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 Tbsp cinnamon
Tightly roll the dough from one short end to the other into a 9" log. Cut into 9 equal parts.
Place the rolls into a greased 8" baking dish or pan. Bake at 350F for 20 minutes or until the edges just start to turn golden. Let cool for 5-10 minutes.
Whisk together the Greek yogurt and powdered sugar in a small bowl until smooth. Spread the glaze on top of the cinnamon rolls just before serving.
3 Tbsp powdered sugar, 3 Tbsp plain Greek yogurt
