Chocolate rolls

These were going to be cinnamon rolls, but I decided to test out chocolate as well as it’s more fussy eater friendly.

Oh yeah, that was a great decision!

So these rolls are flexible as you can make with either chocolate or cinnamon or do half half.

They are not crunchy, they are more ‘doughy’ so a cross between a roll and a donut. I loved them and my teen asked to try them and I turned around and he’d scoffed the lot!!

Recipe

Dough
1 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
¾ cup of plain yoghurt (depending on how much fat you may need a little more or less flour)
2 tsp sugar (I used coconut sugar which makes them a little darker in colour. Add more sugar to taste).

Filling
Butter or light tasting oil
4 tsps powdered sugar
4 tsp cinnamon powder (if doing all cinnamon)
3 dessert spoons of cocoa powder – I used the dark choc (if doing all chocolate)

Method
Heat oven to 175˚
Mix the dough ingredients well. You may need a little more flour. The dough shouldn’t be too sticky to handle.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle on a floured surface. Roll as thinly as possible.
Spead melted butter or oil generously across the surface.
Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon, if making cinnamon-flavoured.
Mix cocoa and sugar and sprinkle, if making choc-flavoured.
Roll the dough to form a cylinder. Cut into slices 40-50cm wide
Bake in a greased tray for approx 15 minutes until browning on top.
Add icing, if you like!
Eat warm or cold.
