Ingredients
Method
- prepare the dough: -in a food processor, combine the gluten-free oat flour, almond flour, runny almond butter (or pecan butter), maple syrup and vanilla extract. – if needed, gradually add 1 tbsp at a time until a thick dough forms. -blend until a thick dough forms. add more oat flour if the dough is too sticky or more milk if too dry.
- rolling out the dough: -lay the dough on a sheet of parchment paper. -place another sheet of parchment paper on top of the dough. -roll out the dough into a large rectangle to prevent sticking to the counter or rolling pin.
- prepare the filling: -in the same food processor (no need to wash it from the dough), combine the medjool dates, almond butter, cinnamon, and dairy-free milk. -blend until a smooth mixture forms.
- assemble the cinnamon rolls: -spread the prepared date mixture onto the rolled-out dough, covering it evenly. -carefully roll up the dough into a log.
- chill the rolls: -place the roll in the freezer for 45 minutes until firm.
- slice and enjoy: -once firm, remove the roll from the freezer and slice into individual cinnamon rolls. -serve and enjoy your better than erewhon no bake vegan cinnamon rolls!
- store in the freezer but thaw before eating!
I made these today and they were wonderful! So easy and fast. Thank you!!
love to hear that! enjoy dear 🙂
Hi! What could I use instead of medjool dates.
hi! there is no sub unfortunately :/
What about dried figs or apricots? Or any other dried fruits?
you could try figs! you may have to adjust other ingredient amounts!
I used dates but I think you could use any dried fruit that is sweet I also used sweet potatoes and beets in mine and used less on the dates. Oh maybe Mable syrup instead

ohhhh fun switch up!
Can the oat flour be subbed? I can’t have oats.
unfortunately not here :/
THANK YOU for this recipe ! It looks very good & healthy. Do you ever put the calories in your recipes ?
hi! you’re so welcome! i don’t calculate those values, but there’s lots of calculators you can plug the ingredients into 🙂
These are incredible, I made them w a brown coconut sugar + almond milk glaze, so wonderful thank you for this recipe!!
oh my gosh, how yum!!
Can I sub almond flour for coconut flour?
hi! that won’t work as a 1:1 replacement
Hello! Would you store the cinnamon rolls in the freezer? and how long will it last?
hi! definitely at least a month! 🙂
I saw these on instagram and I was so intrigued and inspired to make even though i’d never had the real erewhon ones or even dates before. much to my delight these were AMAZING i can’t stop eating them.
I didnt have almond flour only oat and it worked just fine.
Also, if anyone is thinking of using an immersion handheld blender to make the date filling…don’t do that
soooo happy to hear that Maya!!
Hi! Can’t wait to try these! Would peanut butter work the same as almond butter? Thank you!
hi! yes it would!
Can I use mkr oat flour in place of almond flour? I can’t have almonds.
you would have to make adjustments on the amounts of ingredients but could work :)!
Hi! What exactly is the function of the baking powder if it doesn’t end up in the oven?
Thanks for sharing the recipe!
hi! that’s only for the baked version :)!
I made these with my sister for dessert tonight and we are OBSESSED!!! We didn’t even make the glaze bc we were so eager to eat the cinnamon rolls we forgot about the glaze. They do not disappoint! I can’t wait to have some more tomorrow at breakfast 🤤
thank you so much, it makes my day to hear this!!
hi! Looking for a little more information on the baked version, do you have a picture of what that is meant to look like? How do you find it compares to the raw? (I just like the idea of a warm roll better than super cold). After baking and letting cool would you still store in the freezer?
Thanks!
hii! the outside gets a little bit hard like a crust and the inside is soft and gooey!! they’re both amazing honestly, but i love the baked because it’s warm :). yes, i would store in the freezer and warm up!
Hi! If I’m making the baked version, do these need to be refrigerated? If not, how long would they stay good unrefrigerated? Trying to mail them across the country!
I am sensitive to oats and almonds. Can I use another flour?? This sounds so yummy!
hi! unfortunately no 🙁
Hi! Can I use fresh figs or only dried? Thanks!
dried only :)!
Made this today. They are in the freezer. Are you supposed to drain the water from the dates (I did)? How big a rectangle to roll out?
When you bake them in muffin cups do you freeze and slice first, then place them in the muffin cups to bake?
The filling and the dough are both delicious! I will try the bakes version next time but needed clarification above.
the rectangle just needs to be about 1/4 inch thick, so whatever size that ends up being :)! maybe about 9 in!
What size should the rectangle for the dough be ?? Please and thank you 😊 Have a BLESSED week!!🙂
whatever size you want :)! dough should be about 1/4 inch think- maybe 9 inch!
Not sure if I’m half blind, but I can’t find the ingredients for the frosting drizzle.
Could you share please?
Thank you
So once the dough is made and the filling is done. You put the filling on top of the dough and roll it. Then you put it in the oven if you want a baked version correct? Are they supposed to be in individual rolls when you bake them?
correct! individual rolls!
