Hi friends!
Boy do I have a treat for you guys today! As you know, I'm partnering with my friends at siggi's dairy this year to showcase some delicious healthy ways to use their Icelandic-style yogurt. Remember this Berry Farro Breakfast Bowl I shared a few weeks ago?! It's perfect for a quick weekday breakfast.
Today's recipe is perfect for a leisurely weekend breakfast or brunch….or really any morning when you get a craving for cinnamon rolls. Except they're scones. And they ready in less than 20 minutes – no yeast or kneading required! The scones themselves are bursting with cinnamony goodness and then they're topped with a simple yogurt drizzle.

And I do mean simple. It's just siggi's plain full-fat yogurt with a little powdered sugar. And the scones are made with just 7 simple, real food ingredients as well. I love using siggi's vanilla yogurt in the scones for a little flavor without a ton of added sugar
If you ask me, these are a pretty good substitute for the tubes of pre-made cinnamon rolls you find in the grocery store that are loaded with sugar and saturated fat and have lord knows how many ingredients. The yogurt gives these scones a protein boost, which is always a bonus, and replaces things like hydrogenated oils and artificial flavors that may be found in pre-packaged cinnamon rolls.
The other good thing about this recipe? It's a small batch. I love scones, but I don't particularly like eating leftover scones for the next 4 days. This recipe makes just 4 regular or 6 mini scones which is perfect!
Here's how you make them:
Cinnamon Roll Scones
These Small Batch Cinnamon Roll Scones are perfect for a weekend breakfast or brunch. They're bursting with cinnamon flavor and topped with a delicious yogurt drizzle.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 3 Tbsp butter, cubed
- 1/4 cup siggi's 4% vanilla yogurt
- 3 Tbsp milk
- 1/2 cup siggi's plain 4% yogurt
- 1- 2 Tbsp powdered sugar, depending on desired sweetness
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon.
Add butter and cut in using a pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles a course meal.
Add yogurt and mix until just combined.
Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Use the sides of the parchment paper to shape dough into a circle about an inch thick.
Cut into 4-6 wedges and gently separate so there is space between the wedges.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 12-14 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool.
Mix plain yogurt and powdered sugar until desired sweetness is reached. Scoop into a ziploc bag, cut off the corner and pipe over scones.

Recipe Notes
Wait to top with frosting until just prior to serving. If desired you could spread on the frosting with a knife instead of piping.Aren't they cute? I'm a sucker for mini-sized baked goods!
Enjoy!
