What You Need For This Recipe:
I’ve linked some of the main ingredients you need for this recipe on Amazon! Just click on the word and it will take you straight there. You can use regular rolled oats but get gluten free ones if you follow that diet. If you are vegan, use a vegan greek style yogurt. I love the Kite Hill brand!

Baking Powder
Recipes Tips:
For this recipe, one of the biggest things to make it successful is making sure the dough is the right consistency. Try to pick out a yogurt that isn’t super runny. I like the Fage plain 2% yogurt! If your yogurt is runny, add 1/4 cup more oat flour.
Also when you roll out the dough, add extra flour on the parchment paper to make sure the maple pecan cinnamon rolls don’t stick. I just used extra oat flour.

Ingredients
Cinnamon Roll Dough:
1 1/4 cup oat flour
1 cup vanilla greek yogurt*
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp Apple cider vinegar
Maple Pecan Mixture:
1/4 cup pecans
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1/4 cup chopped dates

Maple Glaze:

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.
- Try to roll it into a rectangle as much as possible!
- Then in a food processor, chop and mix the maple pecan 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
- I added some more pecans on top
- Bake at 350F for 20 mins
- Add the coconut butter and maple syrup to a bowl and microwave for 20 seconds.
- Drizzle on top.
- Makes 5-6 small cinnamon rolls.
Notes
*Make sure it’s a thick yogurt. If it’s a little runny, add 1/4 cup more flour!
