Look at it. LOOK AT IT.
That, my friend, is a warm cinnamon-sugar hug wrapped up with a vanilla frosting kiss. Being gluten free is not always fun or easy, but when you stumble upon recipes like this it makes the life worth living. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you...The Gluten Free Cinnamon Roll.PS: This recipe is easily doubled. If you have a family like mine you'll probably want to double it. ;)
For The Dough...
2 eggs1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
1/4 cup butter or coconut oil
2 1/2 cups almond flour
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
For The Filling...
2 tbsp butter or coconut oil melted2 tbsp cinnamon
3 tbsp maple sugar
For The Icing...
1/4 cup softened butter or coconut butter (should be pourable add more liquid as needed)
2-3 teaspoons honey
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup full fat milk or coconut milk
Mix together the butter and honey to form a thick paste. If you don't do it in this order the glaze tends to curdle.
Now add the vanilla, then milk one tablespoon at a time till it is a consistency you like.
Sounds delish! Now if I could only "afford" all that sugar.
ReplyDeleteThese are actually pretty low carb if you make a few substitutions. If you use sugar free maple syrup and almond milk you can drop the carb count to about 56 (net) for the whole recipe. Cut that into 6 servings is less than 10 carbs per roll. :)
