Ingredients
Cinnamon rolls:
Ingredients:
1 1/3 cup oat flour ( I used @bobsredmill which has a gf option. You can also use oats and ground them into a flour in a food processor or blender)
1 cup vanilla greek yogurt ( you can use @kitehillfoods Greek style yogurt to keep this vegan!)
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp Apple cider vinegar
Gingerbread mixture:
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cloves
Method
- Mix all of the cinnamon roll ingredients together and let it chill 30 minutes.
- Then put parchment paper on a flat surface
- Add extra oat flour to make sure the dough doesn’t stick.
- Roll out the dough, about 1/4 inch thick. I used a rolling pin but I greased it first so the dough didn’t stick.
- Meaning I just sprayed a little non stick spray on it. You can also just spray your hands with non stick spray.
- But using oil or non stick spray is an important step!
- Try to roll it into a rectangle as much as possible.
- Then in a small bowl, mix the gingerbread sugar mixture
- Sprinkle the mixture on the dough, leaving a little room on the edges.
- Slice the dough longways into about 5 slices
- Then roll them into cinnamon rolls
- Add to a small greased baking dish
- Bake at 350F for 23-25 mins
- Add melted coconut butter on top and add sprinkles.
- For those of you who don’t have coconut butter, use 1/3 cup powdered sugar with just a splash of almond milk. Mix together and add more milk as needed! That’s what I used here! I normally do coconut butter but I know a lot of people don’t have access to that.
- Makes 5 small cinnamon rolls!
