Cinnamon Buns
Ingredients:
1 & 1/2 cups ground almonds
3/4 cup tapioca flour
1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp coconut flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
Pinch of sea salt
2 eggs
1/4 cup Blue Coconut coconut oil, melted
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut milk
CINNAMON FILLING:
2 Tbsp Blue Coconut coconut oil, melted
3 Tbsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp maple syrup
ICING:
2 Tbsp Blue Coconut coconut oil, melted
1/4 cup coconut milk
1 Tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
-
In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients for the dough and whisk.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, vanilla and coconut milk.
-
Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry and stir until fully combined.
-
Chill dough in the fridge for 20 minutes. At this point it should be firm enough to handle.
-
Place the dough on to a large piece of baking paper. Sprinkle about 1 Tbsp tapioca flour and press dough into rectangle.
-
Once dough is spread, whisk together the coconut oil, maple syrup and cinnamon and spread all over dough. At this point you could also add raisins or currents!
-
Roll dough on the long side and use the baking paper that’s underneath to help you carefully roll dough as tightly as possible - like making sushi!
-
Once rolled, place it in the freezer for 20 minutes so you can easily cut it.
-
While dough chills, preheat your oven to 180 degrees and line a baking dish with baking paper.
-
After chilling cut into 1 & 1/2 inch sections, place each one flat side down on the baking dish.
-
Bake for 25 minutes or until just done and beginning to brown on top.
-
Top with the icing before serving. Best served warm! 😋
