Ingredients
- for the dough: 1 2/3 cup gluten-free oat flour (add more if needed) 1/3 cup almond flour 1/3 cup runny almond butter or pecan butter 5 tbsp maple syrup 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract pinch of sea salt dairy-free milk, as needed (1 tbsp at a time) for the filling: 1 1/2 cups pitted medjool dates, soaked in hot water (if using figs, remove stems) 1/3 cup almond butter 1 tbsp cinnamon 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract 1 tbsp maple syrup 2 tbsp dairy-free milk pinch of sea salt for the sticky pecan topping: 1/8 cup almond butter 1/8 cup maple syrup 1/8 cup coconut oil 1/3 cup pecans, roughly chopped 1 tsp vanilla extract pinch of sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- make the dough: in a food processor, combine oat flour, almond flour, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. pulse until the mixture starts to come together. add dairy-free milk, 1 tbsp at a time, until a dough forms. roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- make the filling: drain the soaked dates and blend with almond butter, cinnamon, vanilla extract, maple syrup, dairy-free milk, and a pinch of sea salt until smooth and spreadable.
- assemble: spread the filling evenly over the rolled-out dough. carefully roll it up into a log shape, using the parchment paper to help. place in the fridge or freezer for 30 minutes to firm up before slicing into rolls.
- make the sticky pecan topping: in a small saucepan over low heat, warm the almond butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla extract, stirring continuously until smooth. remove from heat and stir in the chopped pecans. add a pinch of sea salt if desired.
- finish: let the topping cool slightly, then spread over the sliced cinnamon rolls. serve immediately or chill for a firmer texture. enjoy!
