Fluffy Protein Cinnamon Roll

These cinnamon rolls aren't your traditional empty calorie pastries. They have a good blend of protein, fats, carbs, and fiber, making them a nutritious breakfast choice. The batch makes only 1 serving (a few smaller cinnamon rolls), but can be easily scaled up. For a different protein pastry breakfast, see my PB&J Protein PopTart
