This recipe is hands down one of the most popular that I make for family and friends. I have updated it from it’s original post in 2020 so that it is easier and holds together better!

I like to use Date Lady’s date paste and found that it helps bind together the cinnamon rolls much better. You can use code “CLEANKITCHEN” for 15% off Date Lady!

I love these both as breakfast and dessert. All you need is a food processor or blender!

Ingredients:

  • Dough:
  • 1 cup raw pecans
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup flax seed meal, or home ground flax seed
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp date paste, I use Date Lady’s
  • Filling:
  • 1 cup date paste
  • 3/4 cup water
  • dash of salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • icing:
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut butter

Preparation:

STEP 1.

In a food processor pulse pecans until they are almost a flour texture. Add your almond flour, flax meal, salt, and cinnamon and pulse until combined. Add the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and 2 tbsp date paste and pulse to combine. It should be able to stick together slightly, but still be crumbly.

STEP 2.

Lay down wax paper or parchment, and transfer dough to that. Form a rectangle with your hands. Top with another piece of wax paper and roll out with a rolling pin to 1/4 of inch thick.

STEP 3.

In food processor, pulse filling ingredients of date paste, water, vanilla, cinnamon and salt until smooth. Make an even layer with a spatula onto your cinnamon dough.

STEP 4.

With the wax paper, roll the cinnamon roll like your roll sushi. This is slightly difficult, so be careful and try to roll tightly. Once done wrap it tightly in the wax paper and place on a flat sheet tray or plate. Freeze for 30 minutes.

STEP 5.

Meanwhile you can make the icing by melting coconut butter. If it is too thick, add a little coconut oil to thin out.

STEP 6.

After the 30 minutes are up, remove the roll and cut into 1-2 inch pieces. Top with a thin layer of icing and enjoy or store in the fridge!
