Healthy Sweets This Week: No-Bake Cinnamon Rolls
No refined sugar, no oven, and only 25 minutes of prep. I found this recipe from Michaela Vais of ElaVegan and thought it was worth sharing. And no hunting through the comments—the recipe is right here. Save it for later!
NO-BAKE CINNAMON ROLLS | Makes 12
DOUGH
½ cup (100g) dates, soaked
¼ cup (65g) nut/seed butter
1 cup (90g) oat flour
½ cup (50g) almond flour
1 Tbsp dairy-free milk
FILLING
1 cup (200g) dates, soaked
3 Tbsp (48g) nut/seed butter
1½ Tbsp cinnamon
1½ tsp vanilla
1–2 Tbsp dairy-free milk
Pinch of salt
Dough: If dates are dry, soak in hot water 5–10 min., then drain. Blend dates, oat flour, almond flour + nut/seed butter. Add 1 Tbsp milk and mix into a dough—it should stick when pressed between your fingers. Scrape sides as needed.
Shape into a ball. Place between parchment, flatten and roll to about a 9½" square (or similar rectangle), about 1/6" thick.
Filling: Blend dates, nut/seed butter, vanilla, cinnamon, salt + 1 Tbsp milk into a thick, smooth paste. Add more milk 1 tsp at a time if needed.
Assemble: Spread filling evenly over dough, leaving about ½" around the edges. A lightly greased spatula helps if sticky. Carefully roll into a swirl, peeling away the parchment as you go.
Freeze 1 hour. Slice into 12 rolls (about ¾" thick) with a sharp knife or dental floss. Enjoy chilled or warm for a few seconds in the microwave.
