Ingredients

Dough

1/2 large ripe banana, mashed (60 g) sub 1/4 cup applesauce or pumpkin puree
2 tbsp nut/seed butter (32 g) I used almond butter
1/2 cup flour + more for dusting (60 g) gf all purpose if desired, I used oat flour which is 2/3 cup oats ground in a processor
1 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
drop of vanilla

Filling

2 tbsp nut/seed butter (32 g) I used almond butter
2 tsp maple syrup (14 g) sub brown sugar
pinch of salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F and line a cookie sheet or baking dish with parchment.
If using oat flour, grind your oats into flour using a blender or food processor.
In a small bowl stir together filling ingredients except cinnamon, set aside.
In a medium bowl combine all dough ingredients, adding flour gradually to form a smooth non-sticky dough. If it gets too dry and crumbly add a drop of milk.
Between two pieces of parchment roll your dough out into a rectangle. Doesn't have to be perfect rectangle, just do your best. :)
If your filling is not runny, microwave 10 seconds to soften it. Smear it over your dough and sprinkle with as much cinnamon as you like.
Roll up your dough starting from the short side to make a very swirly log (if you roll it along the long side you will bake mini rolls like I did in the photos, which is also fine).
Slice your dough into as many slices as you like and place the slices swirl side up on your baking sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes. You will know they’re done when the top of the rolls begin to turn a darker brown than the original golden brown color of the dough.
Top your cinnamon roll with some vanilla greek-style yogurt (or you can mix some plain yogurt with vanilla protein powder and/or maple syrup). Enjoy!
