hey everyone welcome back to my channel and welcome if you're new in today's
video I'm showing you how to make the best paleo cinnamon rolls or cinnamon
buns whatever you call them but they are so moist and delicious and yummy if you
guys are a fan of cinnamon buns you are going to love this recipe so let's go
ahead and jump right into it so to make these delicious healthy cinnamon rolls
I'm starting off by using some yeast which is gonna help really make them
fluffy and rise if you want a yeast free recipe I will leave one that I made last
year or the year before down below to that I'm adding in some slightly warmed
almond milk you want it to be warm but definitely not scalding or boiling but
warm really helps to activate the yeast then to that I'm gonna be adding in some
coconut sugar which is really my pantry sugar that I like to keep on hand
it's an unrefined sugar and I find it just easy to use and so many different
types of baking it's like an easy switch you can make from your normal white
sugar or brown sugar just to coconut sugar I also buy it in bulk at Costco so
it's really cost effective too to that I'm adding in two eggs plus one egg yolk
and some apple cider vinegar along with some ghee but you can also use some
coconut oil here I haven't tried this recipe with flax eggs so I'm not sure if
that will bind the cinnamon rolls enough but if you do and it works please
comment down below so that others who might want to use flax eggs will know if
it'll work so I just break up the yolks and then we're gonna whisk all of that
wet ingredients together until it is nice and combined in a separate Bowl I'm
using this paleo flour Bund by Bob's Red Mill it's really good it
just has a blend of a bunch of different flours so if you don't want to buy a
bunch of different ones this blend is already ready to go for lots of
different types of baking if you can't find this flour blend you can use just
almond flour but use slightly less I'm gonna add in baking soda vanilla and
then I'm just using the dough hook on my handheld KitchenAid mixer but you can
definitely stir this together by hand I just find this really helps to break up
the clumps and really makes it nice and smooth easier but like I said if you
don't have a mixer or if you even have one of those big mixers that stand on
your counter you can use that too or you can do it by hand just make sure
everything is combined and then once it's combined stop mixing it because we
don't want it to over mix it will also be quite a sticky dough that's gonna
thicken as it proofs so we are gonna leave this to proof for about an hour
and a half if you want to stick it in the fridge overnight you can proof it
overnight just leave it outside of the fridge and allow it to come to room
temperature and rise a little bit more when you want to make it the next
morning for the filling I'm using coconut sugar vanilla and of course a
lot of cinnamon which is great for your blood sugar also at this time of year
then to that I'm gonna be adding in some ghee but you can definitely use coconut
oil here too and this is what's gonna make the nice yummy cinnamon filling
that's going to go inside of our rolls and just stir that together you don't
want either that your coconut oil or the ghee that you're using to be completely
melted because then it's just going to be more of a soupy filling and it's not
gonna spread onto your dough so once your dough has about doubled in size
either overnight or left for about an hour and a half we are ready to assemble
so I'm just pressing it down until about like a nine inch by nine inch square or
about one inch thick and then you just use some flour if you find it's getting
a little bit sticky I use some arrowroot flour you can use castle flower on the
flower whatever you have on hand and then I'm just sprinkling on the filling
in all the different spots that we're gonna spread on later but I find by
crumbling it first a bit you're better off getting any more even distribution
into your cinnamon rolls or cinnamon bun let me go down below what do you call
them cinnamon rolls or cinnamon buns I feel like I'm honestly 50/50 sometimes I
say cinnamon rolls sometimes I say cinnamon buns another great thing about
this recipe is that you can definitely assemble them completely beforehand and
then just bake them off that morning or even put them in the freezer and then
defrost and bake any leftovers I would suggest putting in the fridge for two or
three days or if you're not gonna eat them after three days pop them in the
freezer and then that way you can just warm them up whenever you want one so
then you're just going to carefully roll it this dough is wetter and a little bit
more sticky than your traditional dough that may have gluten and other things in
them so you have to be a little bit more delicate with it and just gently roll it
it will roll you just have to be a little bit more careful and also make
sure your hands are floured or they're not sticking then I'm just using a knife
to slice up my cinnamon rolls so this made ten large rolls for me I ended up
having one but I couldn't even fit in the pan that I just cooked in a little
cupcake ramekin dish but you could also if you don't have it's a circular pan
like this you can't put this and like your normal muffin tins that will work
too or just place it on a baking sheet but I really like when you bake them all
up like this in a pan and they kind of all grow together and all the flavors
kind of meld so just lay them all in until it is nice and full and while that
is in the oven you can go ahead and make your glaze so I'm using some almond milk
as well as some coconut butter I find coconut butter honestly makes the
easiest glaze ever and then you just have to microwave that until it's nice
and soft and you can spread it on make sure you allow your cinnamon buns to
cool a little bit before you put it on otherwise the icing or frosting will run
all over the place if you like that that's great if you're having the
morning of but if you're gonna frost them ahead of time I would wait till it
cools and then add your frosting and then whenever you want you can just pop
it in the microwave for about 15 seconds and it'll melt and be gooey gooey
