Ingredients:

1 2/3 cups gluten-free oat flour
1/3 cup almond flour
1/3 cup runny almond butter
5 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 cup plus 2-5 tablespoons unsweetened dairy-free milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
1/2 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
1 1/2 cups medjool dates, pitted and soaked until softened
1/3 cup smooth almond butter (for the filling)
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 tablespoon pure vanilla extract (for the filling)
1 tablespoon maple syrup (for the filling)
2 tablespoons unsweetened dairy-free milk (for the filling)
Pinch of sea salt (for the filling)
1/4 cup smooth almond butter (for the glaze)

For the Cinnamon Roll Dough

Step 1: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free oat flour and almond flour. This combination provides a great base that’s both gluten-free and adds a nice nutty depth of flavor. Add a pinch of sea salt to enhance all the flavors.

Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients and Form Dough

In a separate, larger bowl, combine the runny almond butter, 5 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1/4 cup of dairy-free milk, and 1/2 tablespoon of vanilla extract. Whisk these wet ingredients together until they are well incorporated and relatively smooth. Gradually add the dry ingredients (oat flour and almond flour mixture) to the wet ingredients. Begin extract mixing with a spoon or spatula. As the dough starts to come together, you might need to add more dairy-free milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough forms a cohesive ball that is no longer sticky but still pliable. Be careful not to add too much liquid, as this will make the dough difficult to work with. Aim for a consistency similar to playdough. Once the dough has formed, turn it out onto a clean surface or a piece of parchment paper and gently knead it a few times to ensure it’s well combined and smooth.

For the Date and Cinnamon Filling

Step 3: Prepare the Filling

Drain the soaked medjool dates thoroughly. Place the drained dates in a food processor. Add the 1/3 cup of almond butter, 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 tablespoon of vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of dairy-free milk, and a pinch of sea salt. Process the mixture until it forms a thick, smooth paste. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed to ensure everything is incorporated. This filling will be spreadable and wonderfully sweet and spiced. If the mixture seems too stiff, you can add another teaspoon of dairy-free milk, but be cautious not to make it too runny.

Assembling and Chilling the Rolls

Step 4: Assemble the Rolls

Lay a large piece of parchment paper on your work surface. Place the prepared cinnamon roll dough onto the parchment paper. Using a rolling pin or your hands, flatten the dough into a rectangle. Aim for a thickness of about 1/4 inch. The size of your rectangle will determine the size of your rolls, but a roughly 10×12 inch rectangle is a good starting point. Once the dough is flattened to your desired shape and thickness, carefully spread the date and cinnamon filling evenly over the entire surface of the dough, leaving a small border (about 1/2 inch) along one of the longer edges. This border will help seal the roll. Starting from the longer edge opposite the border, carefully and tightly roll up the dough with the filling inside, using the parchment paper to help guide you. Once rolled, gently pinch the seam to seal it.

Step 5: Slice and Chill

Once your dough log is rolled and senon-alcoholic aled, place it in the freezer for about 30-45 minutes. This chilling step is crucial for making the rolls easier to slice cleanly. After chilling, remove the dough log from the freezer. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 1-inch thick rounds. You should get approximately 8-10 rolls depending on your log’s length. Place the sliced rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Cover them loosely and place them back in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably until they are firm. This allows them to set properly before glazing.

For the Almond Butter Glaze

Step 6: Prepare the Glaze and Serve

In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup of almond butter with 1-2 tablespoons of dairy-free milk, adding the milk a little at a time until you achieve a smooth, drizzly consistency. You can also add a tiny splash of vanilla extract if desired, though it’s optional. Once the cinnamon rolls have chilled and are firm, remove them from the refrigerator. Drizzle the prepared almond butter glaze generously over the tops of each chilled roll. The glaze will set slightly as it comes to room temperature. Serve your No Bake Vegan Cinnamon Rolls immediately and enjoy their delightful chewy texture and sweet, spiced flavor!
