Healthy No Bake Cinnamon Rolls (Erewhon Copycat)
Are you craving a cinnamon roll but want something a bit healthier and easier? Look no further than my No Bake Cinnamon Rolls! They are vegan, refined sugar free, dairy free, and gluten free. This is my take on the famous Vegan Cinnamon Rolls that you find at the fancy grocery store, Erewhon's. They charge almost $10 per cinnamon roll there isn't that crazy?! This recipe is SO easy and delicious, I know you are going to love it!
You only need 10 simple, wholesome ingredients to make this recipe and a food processor. I made these higher in protein by using my favorite organic protein powder and grass-fed collagen by Truvani, but if you don't want the protein, you can simply omit it and add a little bit more almond flour instead. With the protein and collagen, these cinnamon rolls have 8 grams of protein each!

Now of course these are not an authentic cinnamon roll by any means but man are they yummy! It’s meant to be a raw, no bake, healthy cinnamon roll alternative.
Ingredients
Base:
- 1 2/3 cup organic almond flour
- 30g organic vanilla protein powder (I used Truvani - Code KATIE20 for 20% off)
- 20g organic grass-fed collagen (I used Truvani - Code KATIE20 for 20% off)
- 1/3 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
Filling:
- 1 cup dates (200g (about 10))
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp water
Why Almond Flour?
Almond flour is the star ingredient in this recipe, offering a delightful nutty flavor and a soft outer cinnamon roll layer. Unlike regular flour, almond flour is naturally gluten-free, making it an excellent choice for those with gluten sensitivities or anyone looking to reduce their gluten intake. Plus, almond flour is rich in protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients like vitamin E, magnesium, and fiber.

You can use any liquid sweetener you prefer. Honey is another option, but it may be a little sticky! Be sure to stick to a natural, refined sugar-free sweetener though! By avoiding refined sugars, you can better manage your weight, maintain steady energy levels, and reduce risk of chronic illnesses, leading to a healthier and more balanced lifestyle.
Can I Skip the Protein & Collagen?
Absolutely if that's not your thing! As mentioned above, just simply omit the protein powder and collagen and add a little bit extra almond flour instead.
How To Make Them
- In a large food processor, combine the almond flour, protein, powder, collagen, almond butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla. Pulse until you have a thick dough ball.
- Wrap the dough up in some plastic wrapper parchment paper and place in the fridge for 30 to 45 minutes. This is super important! The dough is way easier to work with if it is cold.
- Make your filling: In the same food processor, combine the dates, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and water. If your dates are cold and hard, make sure you soak them in some warm water for 10 minutes prior to mixing with the rest of the ingredients so that they blend nicely.
- Take the dough out of the fridge. Roll it out into a Large rectangle on a silicone mat about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Spread your cinnamon roll date filling on top of the dough. Try to get it as close to the edge as possible. Dates are sticky so it takes a little bit to spread this mixture, but it comes together after about 5 minutes I promise! I spread it with a small rubber spatula to help with the sticking.
- Roll the rectangle up long ways, using the silicone mat to help guide you. Slice into 13 cinnamon rolls and enjoy!
Tips for Success
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough make it so much easier to work with and is a key step in this recipe!
- Store Properly: These rolls keep well in the refrigerator for up to a week or can be frozen for longer storage.
How To Store
If storing in the freezer - Store in an air tight container or freezer safe bag for up to 3 months. I love making an extra batch of these and freezing them to have on hand!
If storing in the fridge - Store in the fridge for up to 1 week in an air tight container.
