Paleo "Cinnamon Roll"


This may not look like a normal cinnamon roll but it tastes like one!!!  It's easy and beyond quick for when you are craving that classic treat.


Paleo "Cinnamon Roll"

Ingredients:

3 Eggs
1/2 Coconut Flour
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 Tsp Baking Soda
1 Tsp Vanilla

Filling:

1 Tbls Melted Coconut Oil
2 Tbls Honey
1 Tbls Agave
2-3 Tsp Cinnamon
1/2 Tsp Vanilla

Glaze:

1 Tbls Melted Coconut oil
1/4 C Agave
1 1/2 Tsp Vanilla

Preheat oven to 375, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (which is my best baking friend).

Lightly beat eggs in a medium sized bowl, then add coconut milk and whisk together.  Add coconut flour, baking soda and the rest of the ingredients.  Mix together into an even batter.  Spread evenly onto parchment lined baking sheet.  Bake for 12 minutes. Whisk all of the filling ingredients together, then spread on dough.  Bake another 4-7 minutes until dough is golden brown and the filling is all bubbly.  Cool on rack.  While cooling mix the glaze ingredients together.  Cut dough, and stack a few pieces high.  Drizzle glaze over the top and enjoy!!

  1. I think I'm really confused about the different Paleo flours....I kind of thought the idea was to avoid super processed and eat things that closer to their original form? I love the recipes so far and love that you started a blog!!! Love you!

  2. You are correct that the idea of Paleo is to eat foods that are not changed from what they were when cavemen were here. The flours are not processed like most wheat flours. Almond Meal is just ground raw almonds. Coconut flout is dried coconut meat that is ground into a flour. So the flour are still in their original form and not heat processed. Coconut flour is incredibly absorbent so you need much less when baking.

    I like having a blog too! Love you :-)

  3. Is that 1/2 coconut flour supposed to be 1/2 cup coconut flour?

  4. The instructions mention coconut milk, but I don't see it in the recipe? How much coconut milk do we mix with the eggs?
