Paleo Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon rolls were a Christmas tradition in our house. We haven't done that in a few years now, but I wanted to restart the tradition with a healthier paleo twist. I used the biscuit recipe from Elanaspantry.com as the base for these rolls. I hope you like them as much as we did!




Paleo Cinnamon Rolls

Dough
2 eggs
1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
1/4 cup ghee or coconut oil
2 1/2 cups almond flour
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp baking soda

Filling
2 tbsp ghee or coconut oil melted
2 tbsp cinnamon
3 tbsp maple or coconut sugar

Icing
1/4 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup maple or coconut sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 tsp arrowroot

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In large bowl mix eggs, maple and ghee. Add almond flour, salt and baking soda. Mix until well combined. Dump dough onto a piece of parchment paper. Place another piece of parchment on top and roll dough into a rectangle shape about 1/4-1/2 inch thick. In small bowl combine filling ingredients. Spread filling over the biscuit dough mixture. Roll to dough starting at one end (the longer side of the rectangle). Using a sharp knife cut individual rolls from the rolled up dough making each about 1-1 1/2 inch thick. Place on parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden brown. While baking mix the icing ingredients in a small bowl. Remove the rolls from the oven and drizzle with glaze. Serve warm and enjoy!
