Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or plant-based milk of choice)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup melted vegan butter or coconut oil
- 2 tsp almond extract
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds (for topping)
- 1/4 cup almond flour (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add almond milk, maple syrup, melted butter, and almond extract to the dry mixture. Stir until the dough forms. It should be soft but not sticky. Adjust with a little extra almond flour if needed.
- Roll the Dough: Dust your work surface with almond flour. Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
- Cinnamon Filling: Lightly sprinkle extra cinnamon on the dough. Roll it up tightly into a log.
- Slice and Arrange: Cut the log into 8-10 evenly sized rolls. Place them in the prepared dish close together.
- Add Topping: Sprinkle sliced almonds generously over the rolls.
- Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and set.
- Cool and Serve: Let the rolls cool for a few minutes. Enjoy warm for the best flavor and texture!
Notes
- Handle the Dough Gently: Almond flour dough can be delicate and sticky. Use almond flour to dust your work surface and hands while rolling it out to prevent sticking and ensure a smooth texture.
- Don’t Skip the Almond Extract: The almond extract is key to enhancing the nutty flavor of these rolls. Use it sparingly, as it’s potent, but don’t leave it out for the best results!
- Serve Warm: These rolls taste best fresh out of the oven or slightly warmed. Reheat leftovers in the oven for a few minutes to restore their soft and fluffy texture.
