Ingredients
NO-BAKE “DOUGH”
- 3/4 cup oat flour (ground from gluten-free rolled oats)
- 3/4 cup almond flour*
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
- 2 ½ Tbsp coconut oil*, softened or melted
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup
- 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
FILLING
- 1 cup packed pitted dates (11 medjool dates yield ~200 g or 1 cup // measured after pitting)
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil*, softened or melted
- 1 ½ Tbsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 - 1 Tbsp water
Instructions
- NO-BAKE “DOUGH”: To a food processor add oat flour, almond flour, and salt. Pulse 3-4 times to combine. Next add the coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Pulse again to distribute the liquid and then run the food processor for about 10 seconds until it starts to come together.
- Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper and gently knead it into a ball. Shape the ball into a rectangle. Cover the top of the rectangle with more parchment and use a rolling pin to shape it into a ~7-inch square, about 1/6 of an inch thick. If you don’t have a rolling pin, it’s quite forgiving if you need to shape it into a square with your hands. Place the rolled-out "dough" in the refrigerator while you make the filling.
- FILLING: To the now empty food processor add dates, coconut oil, cinnamon, salt, vanilla, and water (starting with the lesser amount). Let the machine run until a thick, cohesive paste is achieved. This should take a few minutes. If the food processor is having trouble blending, add the remaining 1/2 Tbsp water.
- Once you have a smooth paste, retrieve the cinnamon roll dough from the refrigerator and spread the cinnamon filling over the dough. If your dates were super sticky, spreading will be easier if you lightly grease your spatula with coconut oil before you begin. Once the filling is spread evenly, roll up the cinnamon roll starting from the bottom, peeling the parchment away from the dough as you go.
- Slice into 12 rolls – each should be about 3/4-inch thick. We recommend using either a sharp knife or sliding a long piece of dental floss under the dough, wrapping it around the top, and pulling tightly in opposite directions to pull the floss through the roll. Enjoy at room temperature or let refrigerate for about 30 minutes if you prefer them cold!
- Leftover cinnamon rolls will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for 1 month.
Notes
- *Coconut oil sub: we haven't tested this recipe without coconut oil, but you could try leaving it out of the filling (it will probably be a bit stickier). In the dough, we'd suggest replacing it with a neutral nut butter like raw cashew butter.*Almond flour sub: We haven’t tried this recipe without almond flour, but you could try more oat flour. We'd suggest adding a little at a time until the right consistency is reached. Check out the photos above to gauge it! *See comments for other flour sub questions.*Inspired by Meet the Source.*Nutrition information is a rough estimate.
