Protein Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients:

Crust-

½ cup coconut flour

1 scoop protein (cinnamon or vanilla would work better; I used fudge brownie)

3 packs stevia

2 tsp cinnamon

2/3 cup pumpkin

1 cup oats (made into flour)

2 tsp baking powder

1/3 cup almond milk

1.5 tbsp coconut oil (melted)

2 eggs

½ tsp salt

2 tbsp flax

½ tbsp Walden Farms sugar free syrup

Filling-

1-2 packs stevia

1.5 tbsp coconut oil (melted)

½ tsp cinnamon

1/3 cup almonds (finely chopped)

1 tsp Walden Farms sugar free syrup

1 tbsp PB (I used extra crunchy)

Directions:

Crust

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Mix oats, protein, coconut flour, and stevia in a bowl then set aside. Heat almond milk and pumpkin for about 30 seconds; melt coconut oil and add into the warm milk and pumpkin. Next, mix in the cinnamon, flax, salt, and syrup. Add the eggs in last and mix until smooth. Add this pumpkin mix to the dry ingredients. Mix well.

Spray the pan or parchment paper (whichever you are using) *I just used aluminum foil* with light olive oil spray. I sprayed my hands too to make it easier to handle the dough. Next, spread the dough flat onto the foil; use rolling pin if needed.

Filling

Use a blender to grind up the almonds. Pour almonds into a bowl and mix in all ‘filling’ ingredients.      *You can add raisins or dried fruit. I was out of both* Spread filling out onto the dough.

Take one end of the dough and roll it out away from you. Then, take a piece of floss (yes, like floss for your teeth) and cut into the dough making small rolls. Lay each roll flat onto the foil and bake for 20 minutes.
