Featured Recipe: Paleo Sticky Rolls

This week Celia has come up with quite a delicious paleo treat. It reminds me of a cross between my Grandma’s pinwheel cookie and a traditional cinnamon roll! I honestly can’t believe there are NO grains in this recipe because the crust is REALLY good!! Try it for yourself and let us know what you think…

Ingredients:

For the Dough:

• 1 T coconut oil, melted
• 2 T pasture butter, melted/soft
• 1 egg
• 1 T raw organic honey
• 1 t vanilla extract
• 1 c almond flour
• ½ c hazelnut meal
• 1 T coconut flour
• 1 t baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• 1 t cinnamon

For the Filling:

• 1 T cinnamon
• 3 T pure maple syrup
• 1 T pasture butter
• ¼ c pitted Medjool dates, finely chopped
• ¼ c walnuts or pecans, finely chopped

For the Glaze:

• 2 T pure maple syrup
• 1 T raw organic honey
• 2 T pasture butter, softened
• Pinch of cinnamon
• ¼ c chopped pecans or walnuts

Step 1: Preheat oven to 325F. Whisk all wet dough ingredients together in a small bowl.

Step 2: Pour them into the dry ingredients and stir until well blended.

Step 3: Form dough into a ball.

Step 7: Remove Dough from freezer. Smear filling across as dough as evenly as possible. Don’t scrape the dough and try to be gentle.

Step 8: Take end of long side and begin to fold or roll up. Use the wax paper to help you do this. Pull, lift, roll.

Step 9: Place roll in freezer and let set 10 minutes to firm up.

Step 10: Remove from freezer, slice into ½ inch pieces, and place in preheated oven for 11-13 minutes.

Step 11: While rolls are cooking, combine all ingredients for the glaze. Once cooking is complete, add the glaze immediately to the top of each roll.

Step 12: Plate and serve. Enjoy!
