Servings: 4 servings
Equipment
- parchment paper or nonstick baking mat
- spatula
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsweetened, roasted creamy cashew butter no sugar added
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 2/3 cup oat flour or gluten free flour of choice
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp coconut sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together maple syrup, cashew butter and vanilla bean paste until smooth. Sift in the oat flour and kosher salt and use a spatula to stir until a smooth dough forms. It should be fairly easy to work with using your hands--if not, add more flour as needed (texture can vary depending on the nut butter you use).
- In a small ramekin, whisk together the cinnamon and coconut sugar to create your filling mixture.
- To assemble, take a teaspoon of dough and roll it into a snake like shape. Flatten in down, then coat one side of the dough piece with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Roll like a cinnamon roll and then gently press the cereal down to flatten slightly (so it bakes more evently). Repeat with remaining dough.
- Place each cinnamon roll on the baking sheet and don't worry too much about spacing them out as the pieces don't really spread in the oven. Bake at 325F for 10 minutes, then let cool for at least 10 minutes.
- Alternative method: If you prefer to skip the cinnamon roll labour, mix the cinnamon and sugar mixture directly into the dough and take teaspoons of dough and roll into balls. Bake for 10 minutes, cool for 10 minutes and enjoy.
