Prep time: 30 minutes
Rest time: 60 minutes
Cook time: 0 minutes
Ingredients (makes 8 rolls):
For the dough:
- 75g cashew nuts
- 30g pecan nuts
- 30g hazelnuts
- 55g flaxseeds
- 1/8 tsp vanilla powder
- 4 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp water
For the filling:
- 30g dried apricots
- 30g raisins
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/8 tsp ground cardamom
- A pinch of nutmeg
- A pinch of ground cloves
- 60ml hot water
- 15 ml melted coconut oil
For the glaze:
- 30g cashew butter
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2-4 tbsp water
Method:
- To create the no-bake cinnamon roll batter, start by placing the cashews, pecans and hazelnuts on a baking tray and toast them in the oven at 150C for 10 minutes. Allow for them to cool down, then transfer them to a food processor. Add the flaxseeds, vanilla powder, maple syrup and water to the processor and pulse until the ingredients are broken down and form a sticky, firm dough.
- Transfer the dough onto a parchment paper, top with a second parchment and roll out the dough evenly into a 7-inch square.
- Place all ingredients for the filling into a food processor or blender and blitz until smooth. Spread the cinnamon filling across the cinnamon roll batter, then carefully roll it up firmly.
Transfer the roll to the freezer for 1 hour. - Once firmed up, but not frozen, remove the roll from the freezer and slice it into 8 cinnamon rolls using a sharp knife.
- For the glaze, whisk up the ingredients in a small bowl and drizzle the glaze over the cinnamon rolls with a spoon.
- Store these no-bake cinnamon rolls in the fridge for up to 5 days and enjoy them alongside a
cup of chai tea!
