Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 and 2/3 cup gluten-free oat flour (plus more if needed)
  • 1/3 cup almond flour
  • 1/3 cup runny almond butter or pecan butter
  • 5 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Dairy-free milk, as needed (1 tbsp at a time to reach doughy texture)

Filling

  • 1 and 1/2 cups pitted Medjool dates, soaked in hot water (if using figs, remove the stems)
  • 1/3 cup almond butter
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp dairy-free milk
  • Pinch of sea salt

Optional Pumpkin Spice Version – Dough

  • 1 and 1/2 cups gluten-free oat flour (reduce slightly if dough is too sticky)
  • 1/3 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup runny almond butter or pecan butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tsp pumpkin spice
  • 1–2 tbsp dairy-free milk (if needed for consistency)

Optional Pumpkin Spice Version – Filling

  • 1 cup Medjool dates
  • 1/3 cup almond butter
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp pumpkin spice
  • 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp dairy-free milk
  • Pinch of sea salt

Glaze Topping

  • About 1/4 cup of the filling, thinned with a little dairy-free milk (processed in food processor)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: In a food processor, combine the gluten-free oat flour, almond flour, runny almond butter or pecan butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Gradually add dairy-free milk 1 tablespoon at a time until a thick dough forms. Blend until homogeneous. If the dough is too sticky, add more oat flour; if too dry, add more milk.
  2. Roll out the dough: Place the dough on a sheet of parchment paper. Cover with another sheet of parchment paper to prevent sticking. Roll the dough out into a large rectangular shape, ensuring an even thickness for easy rolling later.
  3. Prepare the filling: Without washing the food processor, combine the soaked Medjool dates, almond butter, cinnamon, vanilla extract, maple syrup, dairy-free milk, and pinch of sea salt. Blend until you get a smooth, spreadable mixture.
  4. Assemble the cinnamon rolls: Spread the prepared date filling evenly over the rolled-out dough. Starting from one edge, carefully roll the dough and filling into a tight log.
  5. Chill the rolls: Place the rolled log in the freezer for about 45 minutes to firm up, which makes slicing easier and helps maintain shape.
  6. Slice and enjoy: Once firm, remove the roll from the freezer and slice into individual cinnamon roll pieces. Serve immediately and enjoy your better than Erewhon no bake vegan cinnamon rolls!
  7. Storage: Store any leftovers in the freezer. Thaw before eating for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute Medjool dates with figs, just be sure to remove stems and soak in hot water.
  • The pumpkin spice version includes pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice both in the dough and filling for a seasonal twist.
  • For the pumpkin spice baked version, add 1/2 tsp baking powder to the dough and bake at 350°F (175°C) in parchment-lined muffin cups for 12 minutes.
  • Adjust dough consistency by adding oat flour if too sticky or dairy-free milk if too dry.
  • The glaze topping can be made by thinning some of the filling with dairy-free milk and blending it for a drizzle effect.
