Cream the butter with the sugar in a mixer. Add the coffee, salt, and almond extract and mix to combine. Add the almonds and chocolate chips and combine, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add the coconut flour and the Einkorn flour ½ cup at a time, mixing between additions. The dough will be very stiff.

Remove from bowl and roll the dough into a log shape. Wrap in parchment paper and place in freezer for 30 minutes before slicing into ¼ inch rounds. Place on papered or greased baking sheets and flatten cookies slightly with your hand. Bake at 350 ° F for 14 minutes. Remove to rack to cool.

Optional Chocolate Icing:

Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a double boiler. Dip cookies in the melted chocolate or drizzle chocolate over the tops.

Make your own fresh ketchup at home using this recipe – Homemade Fresh Tomato Ketchup.

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.

Servings: 12
Preparation Time: 45 minutes

Dough:

  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup tapioca or arrowroot flour
  • 1 cup cashew meal or almond flour*
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup soft ghee or butter

Filling:

  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup ground pecans
  • 2 tablespoons Ceylon cinnamon

Icing:

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Mix the dough ingredients together with an electric mixer.

Get out 2 large pieces of parchment paper. Put the dough on one piece and cover with the second piece.

Roll out the dough into a rectangle approx 16×12 inches. Be careful not to make it too thin in any one spot. Remove the top piece.

Spread out 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup over the dough, all the way to the edges. Then sprinkle on the pecans and cinnamon.

On the dough’s long side, pick up the parchment paper and roll it over a little. You may need to use your fingers to get it going. Continue rolling little-by-little until you have a tube.

To get individual rolls, make each about 1 & 1/2 inch thick. Use a piece of dental floss: work it under the dough and then cross it to cut the individual pieces. You should get approx 12 cinnamon rolls.

Use a flat spatula to pick up the rolls and place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Then use the spatula to press them down a little. Get them to the way you want them to look. (They don’t rise much.)

Bake for about 10-12 minutes.

Stir together the icing ingredients and spread on top of the rolls while still warm.

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