Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 cup tapioca flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 3 large eggs
• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup soft dates
• 0.5 cup water
• 0.5 cup pecans
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky yet firm enough to handle.

Step 5

On a piece of parchment paper, roll out the dough to approximately 1/4 inch thick rectangular shape.

Step 6

In a blender or food processor, combine soft dates and water until you achieve a smooth paste.

Step 7

Spread the date paste evenly over the rolled-out dough.

Step 8

Sprinkle cinnamon over the date paste layer, followed by a scattering of chopped pecans.

Step 9

Carefully roll the dough into a log shape, using the parchment paper to help lift and roll.

Step 10

Slice the roll into approximately 8 equal pieces and place them cut side up in the prepared baking dish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the rolls are firm and slightly golden.

Step 12

Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Whole30 compliant caramel rolls warm.
