Servings: 36
Preparation Time: 20 minutes

In a mixing bowl, cream together butter or shortening, peanut butter, sugar and honey until smooth. Add in vanilla and eggs, beat well.

Slowly add in baking powder, almond flour, coconut flour, arrowroot starch and salt until just blended. Fold in cacao nibs or chocolate chips.

Using a cookie scoop, scoop dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper or a liner. You may add texture and flatten the cookies a little before baking by gently pressing a fork across the tops of the cookies, if desired.

Note: if using cacao nibs instead of chocolate chips, the nibs will be hidden in the cookies and not as evident as chocolate chips would be, as pictured above.

Bake at 375 ° F for about 12-15 minutes.

*You can grind your own almond flour by placing whole almonds in a blender/food processor and blending until you get a fine meal.

Servings: 10
Preparation Time: 1 hour

 Twist Dough:
  • 1 3/4 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour*
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 cup organic whole sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
  • 1/2 cup water, warm
  • 3/4 cup coconut milk, warm**
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
Filling:
Icing:
  • 1 cup powdered whole cane sugar
  • 3 teaspoons coconut milk +more as needed
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients for dough.

In a small bowl, combine yeast, warm water and milk. Let rest about 5 minutes for yeast to activate. Add in egg, melted coconut oil and vanilla to yeast mixture.

Start mixing dry ingredients on low speed while slowly adding in liquid ingredients. Mix for about two minutes.

On a lightly floured surface, pour out dough. Sprinkle a small amount of flour onto dough to keep it from getting sticky. Roll out into a large rectangle about 1/4″ thick. Drizzle coconut oil for filling over dough and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Tightly roll up dough lengthwise to get a long log. Cut into about 1/2″ rolls. Unroll each roll and carefully twist dough. Place dough twists onto a greased baking dish, preferably a 9×13 cake pan. Cover pan with towel and let rise about 30 minutes (or overnight in fridge).

Bake at 350° F for about 20 minutes or until lightly brown.

Meanwhile, combine icing ingredients and whisk until smooth. Remove rolls from oven and let cool about 10 minutes. Drizzle with icing and serve warm.

Gluten Free Flour Mix:

Mix all ingredients together until well blended. Use as directed.
