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!
Strawberry French Toast Casserole
My all time favorite breakfast is french toast, and this recipe brings in a fun springy & summery twist! Strawberry French Toast Casserole is the brunch dish you never knew you needed. During strawberry season, I try to put them in everything. It is guaranteed to be an unexpected crowd pleaser, so good for any warm weather gathering or holiday.
I love banana bread in any form but these bites just hit different. Mini form anything is just more fun and therefore tastier, right? Plus these are made with only 5 ingredients and are gluten free + vegan. We’ve been trying to eat more plant based recipes lately and these bites are a great plant based breakfast, snack, or dessert. Basically, these vegan banana bread bites are tasty any time of time!
