Description
A recipe for soft, sweet cinnamon rolls made with grain-free ingredients suitable for a Paleo diet.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup tapioca starch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the filling: 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, softened
- For the glaze: 1/2 cup powdered coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca starch, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, egg, almond milk, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
- On a piece of parchment paper dusted lightly with almond flour, roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 10×12 inches.
- In a small bowl, mix the coconut sugar and cinnamon for the filling.
- Spread the softened coconut oil evenly over the dough rectangle.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the oiled dough.
- Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log.
- Slice the log into 8 equal rolls and place them cut-side up in the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- While the rolls cool slightly, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered coconut sugar, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls before serving.
Notes
- You can use ghee instead of coconut oil if you tolerate dairy fat.
- For a thicker glaze, use less almond milk.
