Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 2 cups cassava flour Provides structure and a gluten-like texture; avoid substitutes to maintain consistency.
  • 2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder Essential as a binder for a proper rise; don’t skip this one!
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar Adds sweetness with a caramel flavor; you can substitute with monk fruit, but expect a different taste.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder A crucial leavening agent; ensure it's fresh for maximum fluffiness.
  • 1/4 cup coconut butter Gives richness and moisture; alternatives include vegan butter or coconut oil, though they may slightly change the flavor.
For the Filling
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter Offers creaminess and flavor; feel free to use almond butter for a different twist.
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips The star of the filling for that decadent touch; dark chocolate chips are best for richness.
For the Icing
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk Provides hydration and creaminess; substitute with any plant-based milk if needed.
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup Sweetener for the icing; agave syrup is a suitable alternative.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for “Snickers” Cinnamon Rolls
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of cassava flour, 2 tablespoons of psyllium husk powder, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/4 cup of coconut sugar until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, melt 1/4 cup of coconut butter, then stir in 1 cup of coconut milk and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Gradually combine the wet mixture with the dry ingredients, forming a soft, cohesive dough.
  3. Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  4. In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter with 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and mix well until evenly blended.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick and spread the filling evenly over the dough.
  6. Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough tightly into a log, ensuring the filling is enclosed.
  7. Slice the dough into 12 equal pieces and place in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) while allowing the rolls to rest for another 10 minutes.
  9. Bake the rolls for 25 minutes or until golden brown on top.
  10. Prepare the icing by whisking together 1/4 cup of peanut butter with 1/4 cup of maple syrup until smooth and pourable.
  11. Once cooled for about 10 minutes, drizzle icing over each roll.
