Fluffy Healthier Pistachio Butter Cinnamon Rolls

If you love the cozy comfort of warm cinnamon rolls but want a lighter, more nourishing version — these Fluffy Healthier Pistachio Greek Yogurt Cinnamon Buns are your new obsession.

They’re made with wholesome ingredients like Greek yogurt, date sugar, and a homemade pistachio butter that adds the most dreamy nutty flavor. The Greek yogurt keeps the dough soft and tender without the need for loads of butter, while the pistachio filling gives them a gorgeous green swirl that’s both delicious and naturally beautiful.

The result? A melt-in-your-mouth, protein-boosted bun that’s golden on the outside, fluffy in the center, and glazed with a creamy pistachio–Greek yogurt topping.

I love making these for brunch, weekend baking, or even meal prep — they reheat beautifully and taste like a bakery treat with better-for-you ingredients.

A tip for achieving the ultimate fluffiness: let the dough rise slowly and don’t rush the second rise after rolling. This extra time allows the yeast to create an airy structure, giving your rolls that light, tender crumb everyone loves. You can even make the dough the night before and bake in the morning for a fresh, warm treat with minimal effort.

💡 Tip: Use freshly blended pistachios with coconut oil to create your own pistachio butter — it gives a fresher, richer flavor than store-bought versions.
