Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 3 Cups Almond Flour
  • 1/4 Cup Coconut Flour
  • 1/3 Cup Coconut Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 Cup Maple Syrup
  • 1/3 Cup Coconut Oil (melted & cooled)
  • 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Egg (room temperature)

Filling Ingredients

  • 1/3 Cup Almond Butter
  • 1/3 Cup Maple Syrup
  • 2 Teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Glaze Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 Cups Powdered Monk Fruit Sweetener (or substitute regular powdered sugar)
  • 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon
  • Water (optional, to thin glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) to prepare for baking the cinnamon roll bars.
  2. Line the Baking Pan: Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the sides are covered for easy removal later.
  3. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, coconut sugar, and kosher salt. Mix well to evenly distribute all dry components.
  4. Add the Wet Ingredients: Add maple syrup, melted and cooled coconut oil, vanilla extract, and the room temperature egg to the dry mixture.
  5. Mix the Batter: Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until fully incorporated and smooth, making sure there are no lumps.
  6. Add Batter to Pan: Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan using a spatula, smoothing the surface.
  7. Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together almond butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
  8. Add the Filling Layer: Spread the almond butter filling evenly over the base layer in the pan.
  9. Add Remaining Dough: Dollop the remaining batter on top of the filling layer and use a spatula to gently spread it into an even layer.
  10. Bake the Bars: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25 to 26 minutes, or until the bars are set and lightly golden around the edges.
  11. Cool the Bars: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature before glazing.
  12. Prepare the Glaze: While the bars cool, combine powdered monk fruit sweetener (or powdered sugar), maple syrup, and cinnamon in a bowl.
  13. Whisk the Glaze: Whisk the glaze mixture until smooth and free of lumps. If necessary, add water one tablespoon at a time to achieve desired consistency.
  14. Add the Glaze: Pour the smooth cinnamon glaze evenly over the cooled bars, spreading gently if needed.
  15. Slice into Squares: Once the glaze sets, slice the bars into 12 even squares for serving.
  16. Store, Serve, and Enjoy: Serve these delicious cinnamon roll bars immediately, or store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

  • Ensure the egg is at room temperature for better batter consistency.
  • Use parchment paper with overhang to lift bars easily from the pan.
  • To make glaze thinner, add water gradually, one tablespoon at a time.
  • Store leftovers refrigerated and consume within one week for best freshness.
  • Substitute powdered monk fruit sweetener with regular powdered sugar if desired.
  • Make sure coconut oil is cooled but still liquid to avoid cooking the egg.
