Equipment

9 inch circle pan

Ingredients

2 ½ cups oat flour plus more for sprinkling
¼ cup coconut sugar
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
⅔ cup almond milk room temperature if possible
¼ cup butter or vegan butter melted and cooled, or coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla

filling

¼ cup coconut sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil for brushing

icing

1 tbsp melted butter
1 tbsp almond milk
1 cup powdered sugar
½ tsp vanilla

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9 inch circle pan with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, prepare your filling by combining the coconut sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
Now make the dough. In a medium bowl combine the dry ingredients: oat flour, coconut sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond milk, butter, and vanilla. Make sure the almond milk is at room temperature (or you can microwave it for 20 seconds) before adding in the butter. This will prevent the butter from solidifying. Whisk until fully combined.
Now, fold in the dry flour ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix just until combined and the dough forms into a ball. Let the dough sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface (I like using parchment paper and adding about a tablespoon of oat flour). The dough will be a tad bit sticky and thats ok! Add a tablespoon of oat flour on top of the dough so it is easy to shape and work with. Using your hands, press the dough and shape it into a rectangle, about 12x8 inches or 1/4 inch thick.
Now, brush the flattened dough with melted butter or coconut oil and sprinkle the filling on top in an even layer.
Start to roll the dough into a log form. Slowly roll the dough from the short side. It's ok if the dough starts to crack. Carefully pinch the dough together with your hands to keep it from cracking. Continue this process until fully rolled up.
Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 rolls. The dough will be a little bit sticky as you cut it. Place the rolls in the prepared circle pan. Top each roll with a small sliver of butter (optional) and bake for 25 minutes.
While the cinnamon rolls are baking, make your icing! Combine all the icing ingredients in a small bowl until fully combined. If the icing is too dry, add in another tbsp of almond milk.
Top each cinnamon roll with icing and enjoy!

Notes

*Please note this recipe is not like traditional cinnamon rolls made with all purpose flour. This recipe is a fun and wholesome twist on regular cinnamon rolls as it uses whole grain oat flour. The texture and consistency is different. However, they are still delicious, loaded with whole grains, and easy to make!
