Valentine’s Day is all about indulging in sweet treats with your loved ones, and what could be better than a warm, gooey cinnamon roll straight from the oven? This year, why not try something a little different with my vegan, refined sugar-free Single Serving Strawberry Cinnamon Roll – a healthier twist on the classic dessert. This recipe is perfect for a Valentine’s or Galentine’s celebration, or anytime that you’re craving a sweet and simple treat!
Ingredients
For the Cinnamon Roll:
- ½ Banana mashed until it forms a puree
- 2 Tablespoons Yogurt of Choice use dairy-free yogurt to make this recipe vegan-friendly!
- ½ Cup Self-Rising Flour
- 2 Tablespoons Freeze Dried Strawberries blended into a powder
For the Filling:
- 1 Tablespoon Butter or Vegan Butter melted
- 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar or substitute coconut sugar
- ½ Teaspoon Cinnamon
For the Icing:
- ¼ Cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Freeze Dried Strawberries blended into a powder
- 1 Teaspoon Water
Instructions
- Start by peeling and mashing your banana in a bowl, with a fork, until it is almost pureed.
- Then, set aside and prepare your strawberries by adding your freeze dried strawberries to a food processor and pulsing until a powder forms.
- Then, add the powder to the bowl with the banana, along with the yogurt and self-rising flour.
- Preheat your oven to 350 F while you prepare the rest of the dough.
- Mix until fully combined and the dough is sticky. Keep adding in more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough forms a ball, then transfer the ball to a floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough, but be careful that it doesn’t break!
- Next, cut your dough into two strips, then roll each strip together. Look at the video for exact instructions on how to do this!
- Finally, transfer your cinnamon roll to a greased ramekin or mug and bake at 350 F for 15 minutes. While the cinnamon roll is baking, prepare your icing by mixing the icing ingredients together, in a bowl, until there are no clumps.
- Once your cinnamon roll is done, remove it from the oven and let cool completely before adding in the icing. Then, add the icing, serve immediately, and enjoy!
