Ingredients
Dough
- 3 c almond flour
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp tapioca flour or starch
- 1/4 c melted coconut oil
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Filling
- 1 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp coconut sugar (or organic cane sugar)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 c raisins and/ chopped nuts – optional, but amazing
- 1 tbsp butter – room temperature
- pinch of salt – sprinkle this pinch evenly over the topping (the best you can)
Glaze
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/8 cup almond or coconut milk (more as needed to create glaze)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- pinch salt
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda, tapioca flour, and salt with a whisk
- In a smaller bowl, combine the maple syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, and coconut oil with a whisk
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir to combine until a ball forms and place in the fridge
- Once the dough chills for about 10 minutes, it’s time to roll it out
- You will need two pieces of wax or parchment paper, or it won’t work
- Lay out one sheet of parchment and sprinkle it with a little tapioca starch or almond flour
- Place the dough ball onto the parchment, sprinkle with a little more flour, and lay the second sheet of parchment on top
- Using your rolling pin, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick
- Spread the butter (must be room temperature) onto the dough, sprinkle with cinnamon, coconut sugar and pinch of salt, drizzle with the maple syrup and evenly distribute the raisins or nuts (these are optional, but so good)
- Being very careful, roll up the dough as tightly as you can get it, and wrap the cinnamon roll log with the parchment and place in the fridge for 10 minutes (this will make it easier to cut)
- Grease your pie dish or 8×8 baking pan with butter or coconut oil
- Get the cinnamon roll log out of the fridge, and cut it into 1 or 1 1/2 inch cinnamon rolls and place into your baking dish
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown (every oven is different so be sure to watch closely)
- Make Glaze while rolls are baking.
- Remove rolls from pan and arrange on platter. Drizzle with Glaze Enjoy!
