Sticky, Ooey, Gooey Paleo Cinnamon Rolls

I have had some recent requests for more breakfast items and I am happy to oblige! I will get started with these yummy cinnamon rolls. I must admit that these are also such a great dessert that they don't always make it until breakfast. Warm out of the oven it is hard to put these babies down.  These are a tad bit difficult to make but the finish product is well worth it.


Dough Ingredients:

• 2 Tbs melted coconut oil
• 1 egg
• 1 Tbs honey
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups almond flour
• 1 Tbs coconut flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• pinch of salt

Filling Ingredients:

• 1 Tbs cinnamon
• honey, for drizzling
• 1/4 cup pitted medjool dates, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup walnuts or pecans finely chopped

Glaze Ingredients:

• 2 Tbs honey
• 2 Tbs coconut cream
• pinch of cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Whisk together the coconut oil, egg, honey and vanilla in a medium size bowl. Add the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda and salt. Stir well to combine.
2. Transfer the dough onto a sheet of wax paper. Cover with another sheet of wax paper and roll out into a long rectangle.  Remove the top sheet of wax paper. Drizzle the dough with honey and sprinkle with cinnamon. Top with the chopped nuts and dates.
3. Use the wax paper to roll the dough into a log. Place the log in the freezer to harden for 15 minutes.
4. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Slice the log into individual pieces (about 9 or 10 rolls). Place on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden.
5. Meanwhile, make the glaze by stirring together the honey, coconut cream, and cinnamon. Once the rolls are golden, remove from oven and drizzle with the glaze. Serve warm.

• Working with the dough is difficult so make sure not to skip the freezing step. The colder it is, the easier it is to manipulate.
