Ingredients for The Ultimate Erewhon Copycat: No-Bake High-Protein Cinnamon Rolls

For the Dough:

• 200g (2 cups) Organic almond flour

• 20g (1/4 cup) PB Fit or vanilla protein powder

• 85g (1/3 cup) Almond butter (creamy works best!)

• 80g (1/4 cup) Maple syrup

• 1 tsp Cinnamon

• 1/2 tsp Sea salt

• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  

For the Filling:

• 200g (1 cup) Medjool dates (soaked in warm water for 10 mins & drained)

• 1 tbsp Cinnamon

• 1/4 tsp Nutmeg

• 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
  

The Steps

1. Mix the Base: In a large bowl, combine all your dough ingredients. Stir until it forms a thick, cohesive ball.

2. Chill Out: Wrap the dough in parchment paper and pop it in the fridge for 30–45 minutes. This makes it much easier to roll out without sticking.

3. Blend the Filling: While the dough chills, add your soaked/drained dates, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla to a food processor. Blend or mix until smooth, sticky, and caramel-like.

4. Roll & Spread: Place your chilled dough on a silicone mat or parchment paper. Roll it into a rectangle about 1/4" thick. Spread that luscious date filling evenly across the surface, leaving just a tiny bit of room at the edges.

5. The Roll Up: Carefully roll the dough into a tight log lengthwise. Use a sharp knife to slice into 12–15 perfect rolls.
