Cinnamon Rolls (v+gf)
I posted these cinnamon rolls a while ago on my insta stories and it was highly requested ever since from me to post the recipe. I used to always love my grandma’s cinnamon rolls but after being diagnosed with gluten as well as lactose intolerance I could not eat them anymore without feeling super sick and bloated afterwards. The downfall of a gluten and lactose intolerance is that the more you shy away from wheat and dairy the more intolerant you become. But I’m not staying away from gluten and dairy because I want to make a point and to give people a hard time but because of my health. It is also a proven fact that (no matter if you are lactose and gluten intolerant or not) dairy and gluten can cause inflammation in your body.
INGREDIENTS
Dough
2 cups all purpose gluten-free flour (or buckwheat flour) I get your gluten-free flour here
1 1/2 tbsp coconut butter
2 tbsp yeast or baking soda
3 tbsp agave syrup (or if you have a bit of a sweeter tooth, 3 tbs brown sugar)
2 tbsp almond milk I get your almond milk here
Filling
1 cup shredded nuts or almonds
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tbsp pumpkin spice I get your pumpkin spice here
1/2 cup nut milk (i used almond milk)
1/2 cup water
4 tbsp agave syrup
1 tbsp brown sugar
3 tbsp unsweetened apple sauce I get your apple sauce here
METHOD
Mix dough ingredients together with clean hands until the dough stops sticking to your hands. (If you used yeast for the dough, let the dough sit for at least 30 minutes). Roll out the dough like you would a round pizza. Make it really flat. Mix the ingredients of the filling together in a bowl with a big spoon and then pour it onto the dough. It should now be all covered with the nut filling. Slowly roll up the dough (see picture 4). Now cut the roll into pieces with the blunt end of knife and put the finished product on a baking sheet. My oven is still broken so I can’t really tell you how long to let them in or on what temperature to bake them because I only have one temperature. But as a small reference I let them in for about 30 mins but regularly kept checking on them.
