Love cinnamon rolls but don't want to go through all of the work of making them? These are mini cinnamon rolls that are made with healthier ingredients and take less than 10 minutes to make. Perfect for breakfast, as a snack, or for dessert.
Mini cinnamon rolls (makes 3 mini rolls) – can be made dairy free and vegan if using dairy free milk and yogurt.
Dough
- 1/3 cup whole wheat flour + almond meal (fill your 1/3 cup halfway with whole wheat flour then fill the rest with almond meal)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp oil of choice (I have also made these without oil – by accident- and didn’t notice much of a difference)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 3 spoonfuls baked sweet potato
Filling
3 spoonfuls date caramel (dates + water blended until smooth)
Icing
-1 spoonful plain greek yogurt
-sprinkle cinnamon
-splash almond milk
Directions
1) oil a medium sized ramekin and set aside. In a small bowl prepare your dough. Mix ingredients really well until your ‘dough’ is formed.
2) Roll your dough out with your hands and make a long flat rectangle. Spread your date caramel on top of your dough. Starting from the wider end of your rectangle, start rolling your dough like you would for regular cinnamon rolls. once it is rolled, cut your dough into 3 even pieces and place cut side up into your ramekin.
3) microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Meanwhile combine your ingredients to make your icing.
4) Once your mini rolls are done, let cool then drizzle your icing on top.
