Ingredients

• 250 g Whole wheat flour
• 1 packet Instant dry yeast
• 150 ml Unsweetened almond milk
• 60 g Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 2 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 50 g Butter, softened
• 30 g Finely chopped pecans
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 30 g Granulated erythritol

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, instant dry yeast, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

Gently heat the almond milk in a small saucepan until lukewarm (around 40°C / 104°F), then add to the flour mixture along with the unsweetened applesauce and vanilla extract. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Form it into a ball.

Step 4

Place the dough back in the mixing bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface to form a rectangle approximately 30x25 cm.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated erythritol, and ground cinnamon to form a smooth paste.

Step 7

Spread the cinnamon butter evenly over the dough rectangle, leaving a small border along one of the long edges.

Step 8

Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the cinnamon butter layer.

Step 9

Starting from the long edge with the filling, tightly roll the dough into a log, sealing the edge by pinching the dough together.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife, cut the log into small segments about 2 cm wide. You should get approximately 20 pieces.

Step 11

Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 12

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Allow the rolls to rise again for about 15 minutes while the oven is heating.

Step 13

Bake the cinnamon rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 14

Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
