Paleo Cinnamon Rolls

By court15smith

Cinnamon rolls were a Christmas tradition in our house. We haven't done that in a few years now, but I wanted to restart the tradition with a healthier paleo twist. I used the biscuit recipe from Elanaspantry.com as the base for these rolls. I hope you like them as much as we did!

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

*In large bowl mix eggs, maple and ghee. Add almond flour, salt and baking soda. Mix until well combined.

Dump dough onto a piece of parchment paper. Place another piece of parchment on top and roll dough into a rectangle shape about 1/4-1/2 inch thick.

*In small bowl combine filling ingredients. Spread filling over the biscuit dough mixture.

Roll to dough starting at one end (the longer side of the rectangle). Using a sharp knife cut individual rolls from the rolled up dough making each about 1-1 1/2 inch thick.

Place on parchment lined baking sheet.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden brown.

*While baking mix the icing ingredients in a small bowl.

Remove the rolls from the oven and drizzle with glaze.

Serve warm and enjoy!
