Almond Flour (Biscuit) Cinnamon “Squares”

(SCD, gluten free, dairy free)

Recipe by Gisele, Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) mom

Ingredients: 

For the biscuit: 

• 3 cups blanched almond flour (plus 2 Tbls more if needed) 
• 1/2 tsp salt (or just slightly under that amount) 
• 1/4 tsp baking soda 
• 1/4 cup safflower oil (or oil of choice) 
• 2 Tbls honey 
• 2 large eggs 

For the filling: 

• 1/4-1/2 cup honey (depending on how much sweetness you like) 
• 1/2 cup ground pecans/walnuts (optional) 
• 1/2 cup raisins (optional) 
• 1- 2 Tbls ground cinnamon 

Directions: 

1. Preheat heat the oven to 340 degrees. 
2. In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, salt and baking soda 
3. In a separate bowl, gently beat together the oil, honey, and eggs. 
4. Add the egg mixture to the almond flour mixture. Mix (knead) until a decently smooth dough is formed. (Electric mixer not needed, but can be used in place of  whisk.) 
5. Drizzle the honey mixed with cinnamon evenly over the dough, then knead 3-4 times. 
6. OPTIONAL: Sprinkle the raisins and ground pecans over the surface of the honeyed dough and knead again. 
7. Pour dough into square pan. 
8. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10-15 min. 

PLEASE NOTE: everyone’s oven cooks a bit differently. The dough should be golden with a little browning at the top and the center should be soft but not too shiny.

The recipe used to be cinnamon rolls but it took too long. So I shortened the recipe and effort of rolling . Enjoy!
