It’s become a bit of a tradition for us to make cinnamon rolls and go to the beach on New Year’s Day.

Last year, I debuted a healthier cinnamon bun that was amazing. This year, I have another, totally different (raw but doesn’t taste ‘raw’) cinnamon roll to share with you. I love having treats WITH BENEFITS, and this one doesn’t disappoint.

Hope you enjoy!

No-Bake Cinnamon Roll

(Vegan, Gluten Free, Raw, Refined Sugar Free, Dairy Free)

Ingredients

Roll:

• 1 cup oat flour
• 1 cup pecans
• 8 tsp psyllium husk + ⅓ cup water
• ¼ cup organic maple syrup

Filling:

• 1 cup organic Medjool dates (Optional: I soaked them in hot water while I was making the crust to soften them a bit)
• 3 tbsp organic maple syrup
  3 tsp organic cinnamon
• 2 tbsp water
• Pinch of salt

Directions

1. Mix psyllium husk and water and let sit 5 minutes to thicken
2. In a Vitamix or blender, blend pecans until pulverized
3. Add all other crust ingredients and blend until a dough forms
4. Scoop out onto a piece of parchment paper and form into a large thin rectangle, about 10″x5″
5. Blend all the filling ingredients
6. Spread the filling over the roll in a thick layer, leaving a half-inch of space on the shorter edges
7. Using the parchment paper or your fingers, roll along the long edge to form a long skinny roll
8. Refrigerate overnight
9. Cut into ½” rolls
10. Enjoy!
