Ingredients:
Dough: Gluten Free Vegan Yeast Waffle recipe from Ashley’s blog, alternatively if you're short on time you can use your favorite ready-made cinnamon roll dough.
Filling:
- 1-2 tbsp Agni Cinnamon Maca Seasoning
- 2 tbsp Ground Up Snickerdoodle Nut Butter, or similar
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp date syrup

- Meanwhile, combine all filling ingredients, except for the jam into a small bowl and set aside.
- Combine frosting ingredients into a small bowl and place in the fridge until ready to serve.
- When the dough is ready to use, roll into a long rectangle.
- Align the short end of the rectangle parallel to you and spread with filling mixture, then dollop with jam, leaving 1 inch of the top without filling.
- Starting with the bottom short edge of the dough, roll tightly from bottom to top.
- Cut into 3-4 pieces.
- Place each roll into an individual ramekin or all of them into a medium size oven-safe dish when they are snug but not too crowded.
- Allow to rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
- Bake for 20 minutes at 375 degrees F, or until edges are golden and center is puffy/springy.
- Cool for 5-10 minutes then top with frosting, desired garnishes and extra cinnamon maca seasoning.
