Ingredients: To create these 2-Ingredient Dough Cinnamon Twists, gather the following ingredients:
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons cinnamon-sugar mixture (combine cinnamon and sugar to taste)
Instructions:
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix 2-Ingredient Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and non-fat Greek yogurt. Stir the ingredients together until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour until it becomes manageable.
Roll Out Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it into a rectangle or oval shape. Aim for a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
Sprinkle with Cinnamon-Sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, ensuring complete coverage for a sweet and aromatic flavor in every bite.
Fold and Cut Strips: Fold the dough in half, enclosing the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut the dough into strips, creating individual twists.
Twist and Arrange on Baking Sheet: Twist each strip a few times and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each twist to allow for expansion during baking.
Bake Until Golden: Bake the Cinnamon Twists in the preheated oven for approximately 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Cool and Enjoy: Allow the twists to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. Once cooled, these 2-Ingredient Dough Cinnamon Twists are ready to be enjoyed as a delightful and low-point treat.
Conclusion: 2-Ingredient Dough Cinnamon Twists, each at just 1 point, offer a quick and easy solution for those craving a sweet indulgence while adhering to their Weight Watchers plan.

I am SO not one of those women who can throw together a dinner party and entertain on a budget. Because my hostess skills are less than desirable, I’ll usually cough up the green to have someone else plan and execute the shindig for me.
But I have begun to realize that every party comes down to five key tips and a great recipe like my 2-Ingredient Dough Cinnamon Twists!
Ingredient: Dough Cinnamon Twists
Ingredients
1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1 cup self-rising flour
optional: vanilla
2 eggs for egg wash
cinnamon
optional: powdered sugar for topping or glaze
Directions
Combine yogurt and flour (on a floured surface) until it forms a ball.
Roll the dough out into strands and twist two around each other. Egg wash. Bake in an Air Fryer at 400* for 10 minutes. You can also bake them in the oven.
Dust with powdered sugar.
NOTES:
Each cinnamon twist will be less than 1 SP each. Depending on the amount of twists you get out of each batch could change the Smart Points, just calculate based on your personal experience. The whole batch is 12 points.
You can use the 2 ingredient dough by itself (yogurt + self-rising flour), but I added vanilla and cinnamon to my dough to make it more flavorful.
You can use the powdered sugar and mix it with a little water to make a glaze, but remember it’ll add another point.
