Protein Snickerdoodle Puffs

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredients for your snickerdoodle base. Once mixed, add in the butter and Greek yogurt. Mix with a silicone spatula (and use your hands if needed) until you have a ball of dough.

Step 2

Refrigerate the dough for one hour to firm up. You can skip this step if absolutely necessary, but the dough becomes significantly easier to work with after an hour.

Step 3

Remove the dough from the fridge and preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.

Step 4

Add your dough to a lightly floured surface and use a rolling pin to roll it out into a rectangle (it doesn't need to be a perfect shape). We want the dough to be pretty thin here (see photos above for reference). It also helps to sprinkle flour on top of the dough before rolling to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Using a pizza cutter or butter knife, cut the dough into 8 long triangles. if you're ever made crescent rolls, we're mimicking that dough.

Step 6

In a small bowl, melt down the 21g of butter (light butter melts very quickly, about 5-10 seconds, and will pop, so cover with a paper towel). In a separate bowl, mix the cinnamon & sugar.

Step 7

Take one of your large marshmallows, fully coat it in the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon/sugar mixture.

Step 8

Place the marshmallow on the point of one of your triangles, then roll it up. Fold over the sides and pinch them closed until the entire marshmallow is covered. You can pick it up with your hand and form it into a ball at this point to make sure it is fully sealed.

Step 9

Continue for all 8.

Step 10

Take each ball, dip the top in the butter (this will achieve a crispy top) and then roll the entire ball in the cinnamon sugar to fully coat it. Do this for all 8, adding more cinnamon & sugar if needed.

Step 11

Place each ball in a muffin or cupcake tin (butter side up), then bake for 15 minutes.

Step 12

Carefully remove from the oven and empty out onto a cooling rack. If you didn't fully enclose the marshmallow, some may have "popped" with melted marshmallow, so be careful.
