    No Bake Cinnamon Rolls

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Made with only natural, vegan ingredients, such as toasted nuts and dried fruits - these no-bake cinnamon rolls are a great sweet summer dessert with delicious spices!

    Ingredients

    For these No Bake Cinnamon Rolls you only need a few ingredients:

    Nuts - For the dough, we're using a mix of cashews, pecans and hazelnuts. The cashews add a creamy texture, the pecans a toasty, sweet caramel flavor and the hazelnuts add a wonderful nuttiness.

    Flaxseeds - The flaxseeds are the binder for the cinnamon roll dough.

    Maple - To sweeten the dough

    Dried fruits - For the sweet cinnamon roll filling, we're using dried apricots and raisins. They are sweet and sticky and perfect for a natural filling!

    Spices - The spices used in these cinnamon rolls are cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cardamom and cloves, alongside a little salt to balance the sweetness.

    Coconut Oil - with coconut oil the blended fruits and spices come together in a delicious filling!

    Cashew Butter - cashew butter is the base for the lemon glaze drizzled over the cinnamon rolls before serving.

    Lemon Juice - adds a zesty flavor to the glaze!

    Instructions (Step-by-Step)

    These vegan cinnamon rolls are created in 3 parts: the dough, the filling and the drizzle. The drizzle is totally optional, but I definitely recommend it, as it adds a tasty lemon flavor!

    Step 1 - First, create the cinnamon roll dough. For this, simply toast the nuts in the oven for 10 minutes, then pop them into a food processor with the rest of the dough ingredients. Pulse until you get a firm, sticky dough. Place the dough between 2 sheets of parchment and roll it into a 7-inch square.

    Step 2 - For the filling, blend all ingredients until smooth, then spread the filling across the cinnamon roll dough. Roll it up firmly and place it in the freezer for 1 hour.

    Step 3 - Once firm, but not frozen, carefully slice into 8 individual rolls. Whisk together all ingredients for the glaze and drizzle it on top.

    And voila - your no-bake rolls are ready!

    Substitutions

    If you're missing any of the ingredients needed for this recipe, here are some recommendations to replace them:

    • Nuts - If you don't have one of the nuts available, you can replace it in the dough with the same amount of another nut.
    • Fruits - you swap the apricots for dried dates
    • Spices - Cinnamon is key to this recipe, but if you're missing one of the other spices, you can leave it out and still have some tasty rolls. For the best flavor I recommend adding them all though.

    Instructions
     

    • To create the no-bake cinnamon roll batter, start by placing the cashews, pecans and hazelnuts on a baking tray and toast them in the oven at 150C for 10 minutes. Allow for them to cool down, then transfer them to a food processor.
    • Add the flaxseeds, vanilla powder, maple syrup and water to the processor and pulse until the ingredients are broken down and form a sticky, firm dough.

    • Spread the cinnamon filling across the cinnamon roll batter, then carefully roll it up firmly.
    • Transfer the roll to the freezer for 1 hour.
    • Once firmed up, but not frozen, remove the roll from the freezer and slice it into 8 cinnamon rolls using a sharp knife.
    • For the glaze, whisk up the ingredients in a small bowl and drizzle the glaze over the cinnamon rolls with a spoon.
