Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cups almond flour
  • 3/4 cup tapioca starch
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 2 tbsp psyllium husk powder
  • 2 tsp instant yeast
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, warmed to 110°F
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted (for brushing)
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 to 2 tbsp almond milk (for icing)

Method
 

  1. Whisk almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut flour, psyllium husk, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Combine warm almond milk, egg, and 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil in a separate bowl. Pour wet into dry and stir until a thick, pliable dough forms.
  2. Knead the dough briefly, shape into a ball, and place it back in the bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm spot until doubled, about 45 to 60 minutes.
  3. Roll the dough between sheets of parchment into a roughly 9x13 inch rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Dust with tapioca starch as needed to prevent sticking.
  4. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Brush the dough with 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the top, leaving a 1/2 inch border on one long edge. Roll into a tight log.
  5. Slice the log into 9 equal pieces and arrange cut side up in a greased 8 inch baking dish. Cover loosely and let rise for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) during this rise.
  6. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes until golden and bubbly. Cool for 5 minutes. Whisk powdered sugar with 1 to 2 tablespoons almond milk and drizzle over the warm rolls. Serve immediately.

Notes

Total time does not include about 1 hour 15 minutes of rising time. Start this project when you have a relaxed morning. If your kitchen is cool, both rises may take a little longer; wait for the dough to feel puffy rather than watching the clock strictly.
