Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil, divided
- 1/2 apple
- 2 C tapioca starch, plus extra for dusting
- 1 C almond flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 Tbsp cinnamon
- 1/4 C coconut sugar
- 3 Tbsp maple butter, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil.
- Dice apple very small and cook in coconut oil until softened, about 5-8 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, and salt. Make a dent in the middle of the mixture and add the 3 eggs to the dent. Use a fork or biscuit cutter to combine until you have lot of small pieces of dough. Knead those pieces into a ball of dough, using your hands. You can add a very tiny amount of water (1 tsp at a time) but only if the dough won't form a ball. Adding too much liquid makes the dough sticky and it could melt.
- Dust a clean work surface and rolling pin with extra starch. Roll out the dough into a square about 1/4 inch thick.
- Melt the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil and brush onto the dough, avoiding a half inch on the side of the dough farthest from you. Sprinkle the cinnamon, coconut sugar, then apples evenly on top of the oil.
- Gently lift the side of the dough closest to you and roll into a log. Cut dough in half then cut each of those halves into thirds so you have 6 evenly sized cinnamon rolls.
- Line a small metal baking dish with parchment paper. Place cinnamon rolls in the dish cut side down and bake for 15 minutes.
- Once cinnamon rolls are slightly cooled, melt the maple butter for a few seconds in the microwave. Drizzle this on top of the cinnamon rolls and serve.
