- 1/4 cup (60 ml) maple syrup
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) coconut oil
Liquid Ingredients:

Flavor Enhancers:

Instructions
- Prepare the foundational mixture by combining oat and almond flours with almond butter, maple syrup, plant-based milk, and vanilla in a food processor until a cohesive, dense consistency develops.
- Transfer the dough between parchment paper sheets and carefully roll into a thin, expansive rectangular shape, ensuring even thickness throughout.
- Create the decadent filling by blending softened dates, additional almond butter, ground cinnamon, and milk until achieving a silky, uniform texture.
- Craft the luxurious topping by gently warming almond butter, maple syrup, and coconut oil, then incorporating chopped pecans and pure vanilla extract.
- Generously spread the prepared filling across the rolled-out dough, carefully rolling it into a compact cylindrical form, then transfer to freezer for approximately 45 minutes until thoroughly solidified.
- Remove from freezer and precisely slice the frozen roll into individual portions, elegantly drizzling the prepared pecan-infused topping over each segment.
Notes
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients to enhance the flavor of your vegan cinnamon rolls.
- Soak dates thoroughly to create a smooth, creamy filling that blends easily and provides natural sweetness.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure better mixing and a more consistent dough texture.
- Chill the rolled log completely before slicing to maintain clean, precise cuts and prevent crumbling.
