Gentle Tummy
Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

Cinnamon Filling:

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Cream Cheese Topping:

  • 2/3 cup whipped cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 pinches salt

Instructions
 

  • In a blender or food processor, blend 1 cup cottage cheese, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar until smooth.
  • In a large bowl, combine 1-1/4 cups oat flour, 1 cup almond flour, 1/2 cup tapioca flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons cane sugar. Add the blended cottage cheese mixture and mix with a hand mixer or sturdy spatula until a slightly sticky dough forms.
  • Spray a sheet of parchment paper and your hands with non-stick spray. Spread the dough into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Spread 1/4 cup softened butter evenly across the dough.
  • In a small bowl, stir together 1/3 cup coconut sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle over the buttered dough and press gently to adhere.
  • Slowly roll the dough using the parchment paper to guide it. Gently peel the dough from the paper as you go. Slice into 12 rolls using dental floss or a sharp knife.
  • Place rolls in a greased baking dish. Bake at 350°F for 22–25 minutes, or until lightly golden.

Notes

Blend the cottage cheese well: This removes the curdled texture and keeps the dough smooth.
Use parchment paper, not wax paper: It won’t melt or stick.
Keep your hands oiled: It helps handle the sticky dough more easily. I keep a bottle of light olive oil next to me and add a little to my hands as needed. You don’t want to add flour to your surface or hands. We want the dough to be soft and slightly sticky.
