Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a small baking dish or cake pan with parchment paper.
In a blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
In a separate bowl, stir together oat flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a sticky dough forms.
On a floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
Spread the softened coconut oil across the surface and sprinkle evenly with coconut sugar and cinnamon.
Roll the dough gently into a log and slice into 6 to 8 even rolls.
Place the rolls into the prepared pan and bake for 18–22 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
While the rolls cool slightly, whisk together the glaze ingredients: Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls just before serving.

Notes

Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.

Swap maple syrup with date syrup or use brown butter for richer flavor.

Use a flax egg and dairy-free yogurt for a vegan version.

Add mini chocolate chips for a chocolate twist.

Store in the fridge up to 4 days; reheat before glazing.

Freeze baked (unglazed) rolls for later; reheat and glaze when ready.
