The filling is made with cinnamon and a touch of coconut sugar for natural sweetness, while dairy-free dark chocolate chips are tossed in for a pleasant surprise. Drizzle everything with an icing made from coconut cream and maple syrup for a decadent layer of oozy goodness!

To start, stir the coconut flour with a fork to fluff. Then, carefully scoop out the correct amount using a measuring cup and scrape off the top with a knife. Note: Do not pack the contents into the measuring cup, as this will alter the final result. Combine all flours into a mixing bowl, sift them together, and set aside.

Next, blend the wet ingredients together with an electric mixer. When complete, fold the dry ingredients into the wet to form a spongy dough. Place the dough onto a large piece of parchment paper, dusted liberally with arrowroot flour – this will help prevent the dough from sticking.

Shape the dough into a large square (about ½-inch thick) and spread the filling over the top. Carefully roll the dough lengthwise into a log and slice it into six large pieces. Place the rolls onto a greased baking pan and bake for 30 minutes.

In the meantime, stir the icing ingredients together and set aside until rolls are done. After rolls are complete, remove them from the oven and let them sit in the pan for 10 minutes. When ready, drizzle them with icing and sprinkle a few more chocolate chips on top. Serve warm with your favorite coffee and enjoy!
