Dough
3 Cups Blanched Almond Flour
4 TBS Flax Meal
1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar (xylitol)
1 3/4 Tsp. Baking Soda
1/4 Tsp. Salt
1/4 Cup of Flax Meal + 1/4 Cup Warm Milk (dairy or nondairy)
3 Large Eggs

Filling
1 to 2 TBS Oil or Melted Butter (dairy or nondairy)
1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar (xylitol)
1 to 2 TBS Cinnamon.

For the Pan
2 TBS melted Butter (or Oil) + 1 TBS Sugar (xylitol)

1. Preheat oven to 350 Degrees. Prepare a 7 x 7 Pan- add the melted butter and sugar to the bottom of the pan. (Note: If you do not have a 7 x 7 pan a larger one may be used- the rolls just may not fill the pan)

2. In a bowl combine the Almond Flour, 4 TBS Flax Meal, Granulated Sugar, Baking Soda and Salt. make flax eggs by combining the warm milk with remaining 1/4 Cup Flax Meal. Add the “flax eggs” and the 3 eggs to the dough. Mix it well. The dough will be like a thick, sticky cookie dough. I like to mix this dough by hand (despite the fact that its sticky).

3. Wash your hands. Place on the counter a sheet of parchment paper. Oil it and then heavily oil your hands. Place the glob of dough onto the oiled parchment. Oiling your hands more as needed (to prevent sticking) press the dough into a rectangle (between 1/2- 1 inch thick.. this thickness is up to you!).

4. On the dough place the 1-2 TBS of melted butter or oil, Sugar and then Cinnamon. Sprinkling it on evenly. Roll the dough up (the long way) using the parchment paper.

5. Using a sharp knife or a string of dental floss (I think the floss works best for a nice clean cut). Slice the rolls. The thickness of the rolls is up to you.
Place the rolls into the prepared pan side by side. Brush on a little more melted butter or oil on to the tops. Place into the oven and bake 30 minutes. Cover with tinfoil (if they are getting too brown) and bake another 10-15 minutes.

6. Remove from oven and let cool 30 minutes. (When they come out of the oven they are a little on the soft side, as they cool they gain the perfect texture). Frost and serve.

7. These should be stored covered at room temp. They stay really nice and soft as long as they are covered for several days. They can also be frozen for a later date.
The frosting in this recipe is optional. I am not providing a specific recipe as any can be used. Even just a little honey on top would be delicious. The frosting pictured above just uses a combination of Nondairy Milk, Organic Powdered Sugar and a little lemon juice whisked together. A cashew cream “frosting” would also be really nice here. You might also try making a coconut whipped cream to put on top.
