Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F. Add the yogurt, vanilla, and maple syrup to a bow and mix well.
Add the flour, baking powder, and sea salt to the bowl and mix well until a large ball of dough forms. The dough may be a little sticky at first which is okay.
Lightly flour a flat surface and knead the dough until it’s soft and not sticky.
Use a rolling pin or a jar to roll the dough out into a long rectangle (about 3 - 4 inches wide and 9 - 12 inches long is best). Use a knife or pizza cutter to slice the rectangle in half so you’re left with 2 long strips of dough.
Spread a thin layer of Chocolate SunButter on top of each piece of dough and dust with cinnamon. Roll up one of the pieces of dough into a spiral shape. Then place the spiral on the end of the other piece of dough and roll again (think of a little cinnamon roll inside of a bigger cinnamon roll!).
Place the cinnamon roll in a greased ramekin or mug and bake in the oven for 14 - 16 minutes until the dough on top is golden.
While the cinnamon roll is baking, make the icing by mixing together the powdered sugar, cinnamon, and milk in a small bowl until thick yet runny. The icing should be able to coat the back of a spoon. Spread the icing over the cinnamon roll while it’s still warm and enjoy!

Notes

Gluten free option : This recipe can be made gluten free by substituting the flour with gluten free 1:1 flour. You will also need to add a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to the yogurt mixture as well.
