Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a small baking dish (8×8-inch square or 8-9-inch round cake pan) with oil or line with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and baking powder.
3. Add cottage cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Use a wooden spoon to stir everything together until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a few extra tablespoons of flour as needed.
4. Lightly flour a clean surface. Turn the dough out and knead gently a few times until smooth.
5. Roll the dough into a rectangle about ¼-inch thick.
6. In a small bowl, combine the filling ingredients: dark brown sugar, melted butter, and ground cinnamon.
7. Spread the filling evenly over the rolled-out dough.
8. Roll the dough tightly from the long edge to form a log. Slice into 8-9 equal rolls.
9. Place the rolls in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
10. While the rolls bake, make the glaze: whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
11. Let the cinnamon rolls cool slightly, then drizzle with the glaze. Serve warm and enjoy!
