These gluten free and vegan cinnamon roll minis are so easy to make and so fun. Do you remember when Mcdonald’s used to have cinnamon rolls, I think they were called cinnamelts? Oh my gosh those were delicious. These kind of remind me of those, little perfect bites of cinnamon rolls. The icing for this recipe is made with just two simple ingredients and is my go to icing recipe!
Cinnamon Sugar Mixture:
Icing:
I used melted coconut butter on these vegan cinnamon roll minis. I get it from Thrive Market normally but I’ve seen it at walmart too! It’s not the same as coconut oil so don’t use them interchangeably.
Recipe Tips:
I would recommend using extra oat flour on the parchment paper so that way the dough doesn’t stick when you make the cinnamon rolls. You don’t need a lot but enough to coat the parchment paper!

This vegan cinnamon roll smoothie is a great healthy breakfast that is ready in less than 5 minutes. Packed with healthy fats, carbs, and protein. This smoothie tastes like your favorite cinnamon roll but only has sugar from bananas! You can add in a little maple syrup if you want to make it sweeter. I added a yogurt rim with cinnamon which is so fun to do for smoothies.
Gluten Free Cinnamon Roll Donuts
These cinnamon roll donuts are two of the best breakfast items combined into one! Paleo, gluten free, and baked vs fried. Made with almond flour, coconut flour, sweetened with maple syrup, and topped with a delicious coconut butter mixture. They’re perfect served warm, eaten room temp, or cold.

Basically, these vegan banana bread bites are tasty any time of time!
