Step 1

Preheat an oven to 350F.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together flour, protein powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Using a fork (or your stand mixer) cut in the butter, until your dough is slightly crumbly (like scones).

Step 4

Add the yogurt and mix until the dough begins to form. Be careful not to over mix. There should be some remaining flour in the bowl.

Step 5

Knead the dough on a flat surface with your hands, working everything together until no crumbs remain. Set aside. In a stand mixer you can do this with your paddle attachment.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the coconut sugar and cinnamon together. Set aside.

Step 7

Divide the dough into 10-15 small pieces/balls.

Step 8

Sprinkle half of the sugar mixture over them, give them a gentle roll or toss, and sprinkle the remaining mixture to coat them.

Step 9

Grease the bottom of a 6.5 inch cast iron skillet or baking dish, and place half the dough balls.

Step 10

Sprinkle half of the nuts on top, then add another layer of the doughballs, and top with remaining walnuts.

Step 11

In the same small bowl, the coconut-cinnamon sugar was in, stir together the ¼ cup butter and maple syrup.

Step 12

Pour the butter mixture over the top in an even layer, and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the dough has risen and cooked through.
