    Ingredients

    no bake cinnamon rolls ingredients.

    Flour. Almond and Oat flour are safe to eat raw and you'll need both for this dough.

    Peanut butter. Or any nut butter or seed butter.

    Sweeteners. Maple syrups and dates are both used to sweeten the dough and to make the cinnamon filling. The dates I use are Medjool and you can find them in boxes in the produce area.

    Cinnamon, flax seeds, vanilla and milk are crucial for the recipe's taste and structure.

    See the recipe card at the bottom for full information on ingredients and quantities.

    Recipe Tips

    • To ensure the rolls stay round when you cut them, chill the log in the freezer for 15 minutes before cutting. Be sure it is round when you form it. Press the cracks away with your thumb before chilling.
    • Once chilled hard, cut the log with a sharp knife.
    • Boost the spicy flavor by doubling the cinnamon.
    • To lighten the color to more match the beige color of baked cinnamon rolls, leave off the flaxseed and use cashew butter or peanut butter.
    • To make these no bake cinnamon rolls more exactly like Erewhons, use pistachio butter instead of almond, and use psyllium husk instead of flax seeds.
    • Also, I have a new cooking conversions section in my blog with a free chart and answers that might help you with measurements, including converting 250 grams to cups, what is half of 1 and ¾ cups, how many tablespoons in ⅓ cup.

    Type of Cinnamon

    If you intend on eating cinnamon recipes daily you might want to use Ceylon cinnamon. It's healthier to eat on a daily basis because it only contains trace amounts of coumarin, a harmful substance found in other types of cinnamon, including the most common type, Cassia, which is the type you'll find in grocery stores labeled "ground cinnamon."

    Substitutions

    Oat flour. Replace all oat flour with more almond flour.

    To Swap Almond flour. Replace all almond flour with oat flour.

    To Swap Peanut butter. If you don't want even a hint of a nutty flavor, use almond butter or cashew butter as they are more neutral.

    To Swap Dates and Maple Syrup. The dates can't be replaced but the maple syrup can be replaced with any other liquid sweetener, even honey if you don't want the recipe vegan.

    To Make Nut Free Cinnamon Rolls: Use all oat flour and sunflower seed butter.

    Serving and Storage

    Serve raw at room temperature or chilled. They last about a week in the refrigerator in a sealed container - longer really but they do begin to dry up.

    Freeze these no bake cinnamon rolls for 6 months in a sealed container. Microwave for 5 minutes to thaw, or let them sit out at room temperature.

    Serve alone or serve with a white glaze - stir 1 teaspoon of milk into ½ cup powdered sugar.

    Instructions
     

    Prep

    • Boil a pot of water and add dates. Turn off the water and let the dates soak for 10 minutes.

    Make filling

    • Pit the dates, add them to a blender with other filling ingredients and set aside.

    Make the dough

    • To a bowl, add the dough ingredients without the milk and stir into a batter. Add the milk a tablespoon at a time, and keep the dough dry so it is easy to mold into a pan - you don't want it sticky so hold back the milk until you've mixed the batter thoroughly.
    • Press the dough onto a large flat pan lined with parchment paper to a size of about 5-inchs by 9-inchs square.
    • Lay another sheet of parchment paper on top, and flatten or roll out the dough that is sandwiched between. Aim for about ½ an inch thickness.
    • Spread the cinnamon filling evenly on the dough, spreading it all the way to the edge.
    • Roll the dough from one end, peeling the parchment away from the dough as you go.
    • Freeze the roll for 15 minutes so it stays round when you slice it.
    • Slice into 12 rolls – each should be about 1-inch thick.
    • Enjoy as is or drizzle with a glaze of 1 teaspoon milk stirred into ½ cup of powdered sugar.

    Storage

    • Keep no bake cinnamon rolls in a sealed container for 5 days in the refrigerator, and then freeze for up to 3 months.

    Notes

    To make these more exactly like Erewhons, use pistachio butter instead of almond, and use psyllium husk instead of flax seeds.
