One of my favorite products at Trader Joes is their Cauliflower Gnocchi. Not only is it Paleo and made with healthy ingredients, but the quality cannot be beat by other healthified gnocchis on the market.
One of my favorite kids food was the Auntie Anns cinnamon pretzels. I haven’t had anything semi close to these since becoming healthier and gluten free until I started making cinnamon roasted Cauliflower Gnocchi. So I figured, why not make it into an Auntie Ann inspired cinnamon gnocchi heaven, but make it even better by adding healthy coconut icing?! When I did it I realized it not only tastes like an Auntie Ann cinnamon pretzel but also a delicious cinnamon bun. This instantly became a favorite recipe of mine for a little sweet treat that is low sugar, Paleo, and has vegetables.
