There is just something so good about cinnamon buns. I think of them as a comfort food with a good cup of coffee. One of my clients Joleen, brought some to class a week ago and we inhaled them. The cinnamon buns were crunchy on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside. So good I had to make some!
Above is all that you need...Almond flour, baking soda, sea salt, cinnamon, Maple syrup, Coconut oil, and eggs. I didn't have a cane sugar or coconut sugar so I had to use brown sugar...
Mix your wet and dry ingredients separately to prepare for the dough mixture...
In another bowl, prepare filling, make sure Coconut oil is melted...
Combine wet and dry ingredients for the dough, be sure to mix well. Then whisk up your filling mix...
Place parchment paper on counter top to prevent dough from sticking. Place dough on paper with another piece on top and roll out to about a 1/4 inch thick. Roll out into a rectangular form...
Spread filling mixture on softly as to not tare the dough...
I tried to roll the dough length wise but found that it started to break, so I rolled it by lifting the paper behind it. The Almond flour dough is fragile so the less you play with it the better...
Once rolled into a log, slice into desired sizes...think of your waist-line, the smaller the better!
Don't worry if they look too small as they will expand...bake in oven at 350 degrees for 15-20 mins...
And here they are! I could have eaten the whole tray, but thankfully, it was Terra's birthday, one of my Boot Campers and we celebrated in class and shared them with everyone. Now as yummy as these are, you have to control yourself because each one has 138 cal, 9g fat, 2.3g sugar, 4.2g protein. These are definitely healthier than what you'd buy from your local baker, so go ahead and enjoy one...guilt free!
