I’m on a little bit of cinnamon roll kick, but it’s Christmas vacation and for me, Christmas means cinnamon rolls! On Christmas day I made my egg-free cinnamon rolls, but sometimes I want to enjoy a cinnamon roll that is a bit higher in fiber and lower in carbs.
I’ve made so many different versions of this recipe to get it just right, it’s embarrassing. But it was completely worth is because this cinnamon roll is absolutely amazing. The dough “bakes” up soft and bready, and the cinnamon and coconut sugar go so perfectly with the creamy coconut glaze.
Because this recipe requires some careful handiwork, I’ve created a video to show you exactly how it’s done:
Enjoy! You’ll want to pin this; you’ll make it again and again!

Is Stevia Paleo? I’ve been staying away from it because I thought it was a no no.
Stevia is considered a “paleo grey-area food” – I find that it works for me but it can mess up some people blood sugar. If you don’t tolerate it very well, feel free to sweeten the icing in this recipe with a little maple syrup.
Hello,
i dont think it says in the recipe what to do with the coconut milk.. assume this would be mixed with the flour?
Thanks! cant wait to try this 🙂
It’s whisked with the egg; sorry about that!
This looks AMAZING! I just found your blog and I love your recipes. Just a question, what could I substitute psyllium husk powder for? I get that paleo baking is a really intricate science but might there be a substitute?? Thanks!
I have subbed tapioca starch (usually twice the amount of psyllium) for psyllium in a couple recipes but haven’t tried it with this one yet; so not sure but let know if you try it 🙂
