Cinnamon Bun Cookie Dough Bites
Ben & Jerry-inspired bite-size cinnamon buns! No-bake and naturally sweetened, these little bites are delicious as is, or on top of ice cream, oatmeal, or in yogurt!
Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt
Cinnamon Sugar
- 1 and 1/2 tbsp coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the cinnamon sugar: in a small bowl, mix together the coconut sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
- Add the oat flour, almond flour, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla, and salt to a mixing bowl. Mix until it forms a slightly sticky dough. If the mixture appears too dry, add a bit more maple syrup. If it's too sticky, add more oat flour.
- Divide the dough into 5 pieces and keep them covered to prevent it from drying. Roll out one piece of dough into a rectangle of about 8x2-inch (1/16-inch-thick) on a piece of plastic wrap. Sprinkle about 3/4 tsp of the cinnamon sugar on top of the flattened dough, leaving about 1/2 inch on one side of the rectangle. Slightly press the sugar onto the dough to make it stick.
- Use the plastic wrap to help you wrap the roll tightly into a long log. Be patient and roll it slowly. Press a little bit at the end to seal. Transfer to a plate or in a container and repeat with the remaining dough.
- Transfer the logs to the freezer and freeze for 30 minutes before cutting each log into mini cinnamon rolls of about 1/2-inch thickness.
- Mini cinnamon buns will keep for up to 2 months in the freezer. Enjoy straight from the freezer at a topping for ice cream, oatmeal, or just as a snack!
